After saying goodbye to Atlas, Diego Cocca is on the radar of several teams. The Argentine coach who made history with the 'Rojinegros', ending a title drought of over 70 years in the Liga MX, has become one of the most sought-after coaches for the next year and in Mexico, they continue to look at him with good eyes.
According to journalist David Medrano from the Récord newspaper, Pumas, who still does not have a coach after the departure of Andrés Lillini, began exploring more options after the rumor of Ricardo Ferretti's arrival quieted down, and they asked about Cocca.
However, the coach who was a two-time champion with Atlas closed the door to them for now, as he plans to try his luck away from Mexican football, according to various reports.
"Pumas approached Diego Cocca to see if he would be interested in being a candidate for the university team and the Argentine appreciated the interest, but told them not for now," wrote David Medrano.

Dreaming of Europe
So far, the new team of the South American is unknown after finishing his stage with Atlas, but among the rumors that are circulating, he could migrate to the 'Old Continent'.
Even South America would also be an option because in the last few hours, several media outlets in Argentina have indicated that he would be on the radar of a giant in the country like River Plate.
Undoubtedly, the task for the incoming coach will not be easy, but Cocca will seek to continue making history as a coach. Pumas, on the other hand, is still negotiating with Ricardo Ferretti, who is the main candidate of the UNAM Rector to take over the team.
