Matias Almeyda, the new coach of Monterrey, said on Monday that the Mexican league is underrated, but for him it is one of the most competitive in the world.

It is a highly competitive championship, that is why I decided to return to try to win again,” said the coach in his presentation.

No promises or excuses
“I like challenges and I’m not one to make excuses.”
“Promising is not within my way of being, that’s why I say I must first build the foundation.”
“Monterrey is a castle in Mexican soccer that has had some brilliant moments, but lately it has not been getting results.
