Javier Aguirre
Javier Aguirre Onaindía (Spanish pronunciation: [xaˈβjeɾ aˈɣire]; born 1 December 1958), nicknamed El Vasco (The Basque), is a Mexican football manager and former footballer. He is currently manager of the Mexico national team.
Aguirre primarily operated as a midfielder during his professional playing career. He is best remembered for his time at Club América, where he made his debut and won a Primera División title, and later at Guadalajara, where he amassed over 100 appearances before retiring. On the international stage, he earned 59 caps and scored 14 goals for Mexico, including representing his country at the 1986 FIFA World Cup.
Upon retiring, Aguirre transitioned into management and quickly established a reputation as a tactically flexible and resilient coach. After leading Pachuca to prominence, he took charge of the Mexico national team, guiding them to the 2002 FIFA World Cup — a feat he would repeat at the 2010 and 2026 editions as well.
His managerial career reached far beyond Mexico, highlighted by international stints with Atlético Madrid, where he consistently secured strong La Liga finishes and guided the club to European qualification. He also led Osasuna and Mallorca to Copa del Rey finals, further cementing his reputation. On the international stage, he managed the national teams of Japan and Egypt, while also taking on club roles across Spain and the Middle East.
