The stage of Argentine Diego Martín Vázquez lasted 14 months as coach of the Honduran National Team, eliminated from the 2023 Gold Cup in the group stage despite the 2-1 win against Haiti.
This early game of the highest Concacaf tournament follows the 4-0 defeat against Mexico and the 1-1 defeat against Qatar. His four points were not enough for H and for the fourth time in history he was left out in the first phase of the competition, the third since 2015.
The failure of the Bicolor takes the departure of the South American helmsman at the head of the national team, who led his last game in Charlotte before the expiration of his contract in July that will not be renewed by the National Football Federation of Honduras (Fenafuth). .
Diego Vázquez will present his Gold Cup evaluation report to Fenafuth this week, which includes the evaluations corresponding to his year of work based on the link he signed in July 2022, although his process began the second week of May of that year. .
Pedro Troglio, Jorge Luis Pinto and Alexander Guimaraes are names managed by the entity that governs Honduran soccer to replace him in the Bicolor. The fans have requested Reinaldo Rueda through surveys carried out by DIEZ.
In September the Concacaf Nations League begins that qualifies for the 2024 Copa América and next year the qualifiers for the 2026 World Cup in North America begin.
– FIVE WINS IN 13 GAMES –
With “La Barbie” as technical director, La Bicolor only won five games out of 13 played, drawing two and losing six, scoring 11 goals and conceding 19.
The Vázquez era began well in June 2022 with a 2-1 victory over Canada and a 1-0 visit to Curaçao that virtually qualified us for this Gold Cup. Similarly, H left positive feelings in their friendlies against the World Cup players Saudi Arabia (0-0) and Qatar (2-1) in October.
The bumps in the first stretch of Dieguismo in the National Team were the defeats against Curacao (1-2) and Argentina (3-0). The first from a colossal administrative error that directly affected the result. In the other he was infinitely surpassed by what would be the next world champion team.
The question about the continuity of the Argentine coach began after being thrashed 4-1 in Canada and losing the ticket to the Final Four of the League of Nations in March. Honduras had shown the worst version in Toronto under the exDT regime of Motagua.
For the Gold Cup, the Catracho team entered into controversy after notable absences from the player list, specifically the loss of Luis Palma, our best legionnaire in European football, as well as Kervin Arriaga, due to alleged indiscipline issues. In addition, it was detonated that some footballers did not want to be on everyone’s team, and the lack of leadership within the national squad was reflected.
Added to several absences due to injury, which were eight in total, H was conditioned to face the Gold Cup with its most modest squad in the last decade. The result was a painful 4-0 against Mexico, where the press and fans immediately asked for the head of the national coach.
Diego Vázquez’s stage with Honduras ended a four-game winless streak, which proceeded from the intermittent performance that the national team had under his orders: sometimes they played a game well, in another game they did more or less, and then They made a pitiful presentation.
The tactical system they used the most was 4-4-2 with six in total, followed by four games with a defensive line of five defenders. He never repeated a starting eleven, either by technical decision or by casualties in the squad.
