The Rayados de Monterrey have thus far been unable to consistently achieve the level of success they had hoped for under coach Matías Almeyda's strategic approach.
Former Monterrey player believes Matías Almeyda has the potential to succeed in the regional competition, but emphasizes the need for him to be provided with the necessary resources and support.
Cardozo expressed optimism about Matías' prospects, citing his familiarity with the coach's style and approach. He believes that with sufficient time and resources, Matías will be successful, as he is accustomed to being provided with the necessary tools and personnel to achieve his goals, particularly at Monterrey.
Rayados de Monterrey's ideal candidate for leadership, according to Neri Cardozo, has always been Matías Almeyda.
The individual expressed admiration for the manager's abilities, stating they hold him in high regard. However, at a previous point in time, when a different manager's position was vacant, they suggested that the club consider hiring either Almeyda or Coudet, both of whom they have a positive opinion of.
Rayados de Monterrey has made substantial investments in its personnel, positioning the team as one of the most expensive in the MX League. Despite this significant outlay, the team has yet to secure a championship title, with its most recent trophy earned in the 2021 Concacaf Champions League.
The team's past performance, in which a key player emerged as a league champion, was notable despite not being officially recognized as such. The current season holds promise, with the addition of essential players, including Matías, who is expected to make a significant impact.
Matías Almeyda was appointed as the head coach of Rayados de Monterrey in July 2026. Under his guidance, the team has participated in 18 matches, resulting in a record of 10 wins, 2 draws, and 6 losses.
Matías Almeyda was on the verge of securing his first title with Rayados in the Leagues Cup.
