Uruguayan Robert Dante Siboldicoach of UANL champion Tigres, called this Saturday an “illogical” request to leave Jaime Lozanocoach of the Mexican national team, but was defeated 2:0 by Honduras on Friday.
He stated this at a press conference.
With so few games underway for Jimmy (Lozano), it seems counterintuitive to ask for his departure because it would show a lack of confidence in this coaching staff to lead us to other goals. You must give him trust and time, be patient. The results will come.

Lozano took over Mexico’s bench in June last year when he was appointed on a temporary basis in the Gold Cup. After winning the Concacaf tournament, the coaches made him permanent.

Siboldi, he repeated.
Jimmy is still getting to know the players. There are challenging games, with challenging locations such as Honduras. There is no need to question the coach’s continuity at every moment of the game.

The Tigers played their last game on November 11 and will not be active again in the local league for another two weeks when the quarter-final series takes place, after the FIFA date and playoff matches.
It affects us because we are in a good rhythm, there are other teams whose important players are undergoing rehabilitation, which could be useful for them. We would like it to continue, but we have to adapt, that’s why we played these friendlies.
To maintain the momentum of the competition, Tigres played a friendly this Saturday against Alebrijes from Oaxaca, whom they beat 3-0; The Cats will face this team again this Wednesday.
The coach hopes that these weeks without official matches will allow him to restore the Frenchman. Andre Pierre Gignacwho is recovering from a pubic problem.
Andre has problems with his pubis, and after research it was determined that he needs to undergo rehabilitation in order to be ready for the quarter-finals. He had surgery on his pubis, but after a fall he felt his hip being compressed and that’s when a tear was discovered in his pubic bone.
Los Tigres, ranked third in the Apertura 2023 classification, are preparing to face Puebla, sixth in the table, in the quarter-finals.
