Toluca head coach Antonio Mohamed has completely ruled out leaving the club and reaffirmed his total commitment to the Diablos Rojos project. In statements reported by Record MX on Tuesday, Mohamed dismissed any exit talk and looked ahead to immediate objectives in Liga MX and December's Intercontinental Cup.
The team currently sits third in the Liga MX standings with 13 points from 4 wins, 1 draw, and 1 loss in six matches. Their recent form is strong, with four wins and a draw in their last five games, including a convincing 4-0 victory over FC Juárez on August 31st. Toluca has scored 12 goals while conceding only 4, achieving a +8 goal difference that reflects their positive momentum.
What is Mohamed's commitment to Toluca?
Antonio Mohamed made clear his future is tied to Toluca. The Argentine strategist thanked the board and fans for their trust, emphasizing he is an integral part of recent successes, like the Leagues Cup title won against Monterrey. His immediate objective is to finish in the top four of the league and win the national championship again.
"I thank the board, the fans for trusting in the project, I am part of everything that has been won," stated Mohamed. "What one achieves is always due to the effort and dedication of the players, so what comes now is next weekend, focusing on Saturday's match because we want to qualify among the top four in the league and we want to win it again."
What does Monterrey mean to Mohamed?
Despite facing and defeating his former team in the Leagues Cup final, Mohamed acknowledged a permanent feeling for Rayados de Monterrey, the club with which he achieved significant past successes. The coach affirmed his emotional bond with the Monterrey team will not change, though his professional duty led him to compete against them.
"I am a Rayado forever, that will not change," he declared. "What happens is I work as a coach and I have to face them." This statement shows the emotional complexity of a manager who must separate personal affections from professional obligations.
What are the team's next objectives?
Mohamed and Toluca's plan is ambitious and short-term. Beyond securing a place in the league's top four, the team is already thinking about the Intercontinental Cup in December. The coach expressed confidence in achieving a great tournament and a solid performance in that international competition.
Trailing leaders Club America by just three points, the title race remains wide open. The consistency shown in recent matches, with a two-game winning streak, is a positive sign. Fans can follow the team's progress on our stats page and check the live standings.
What's next on the immediate schedule?
Toluca's next challenge is a home match against Atlas, scheduled for September 12th. Atlas sits fifth in the table, promising a high-voltage clash between two direct contenders for qualification spots. This match will be important to maintaining momentum at the top of the standings.
Mohamed and his coaching staff are already preparing for this commitment, aware that every point counts in such a competitive league. The Toluca squad, which can be reviewed in our squad section, must maintain the level shown in recent weeks to keep adding points. The match against Atlas represents an opportunity to consolidate third place and move even closer to the top.
