The directive of Pumas made a shaken ACME mark in the structure of their basic forces by dismissing the controversial Raúl Alpizar from his position as director of basic forces, but the remedy went worse than medicine, because they bet on someone without a feline trajectory like Juan Carlos Ortega.
With people so valuable historically that it came out of this organization and gave brightness to its colors in the era of the seventies, eighty, nineties and the first years of the new millennium, Ricardo Ferretti, Guillermo Vázquez Junior, José Luis Salgado and Félix Cruz Barbosa, among several other options, decided to bet on a person totally alien to this organization.

It is not about underestimating the trajectory of Juan Carlos Ortega, who has had interesting positions in Chivas, national teams, Tigres and Los Angeles Galaxy, but simply that the model of organization and philosophy of the new commissioner elected by the directive in charge of engineer Raúl González, does not suit these conditions.
The reality of this adjustment is that Pumas already needed a change in the basic forces, after this team was the ideal model to produce players for the national team, bringing names of the size of Manuel Negrete, Félix Cruz, Rafael Amador, Raúl Servín and Hugo Sánchez in the World Cup of 1986.
The historical list is long and also includes Jorge Campos, Juan de Dios Ramírez Perales, José Luis Salgado, Alberto García Aspe, Luis García, Gonzalo Pineda and Claudio Suárez, all of them with world history and arising directly from their cave.
Agustín brings two news that suck at Pumas!??? The departure of Alpízar and the arrival of Ortega would be a big hit for Antonio Sancho and could give him a new direction to Cantera? And look at the memoir!Guillermo Martínez would have? pic.twitter.com/WOybz9j0nI
Unfortunately, this entity was losing gasoline little by little until it hit the bottom in the past World Cup of two thousand twenty-six, a fair where there was no single player called that had emerged from the university pitch, confirming the absolute drought of the institution.
On the other hand, Raúl Alpizar’s outgoing management was immersed in suspicions about alleged payments to be able to enter young footballers into the basic forces, a situation that at the time was dismissed and ratified by the feline directive.
Despite the institutional statements, the backbone fell in the spirit of the club and the manager could never revive the historic production of talents, leaving a huge debt to the mystic of the club of the National Autonomous University of Mexico.
Juan Carlos Ortega is not improvised.
For Juan Carlos Ortega, this represents a new challenge in his trajectory within the balompié, a terrain that is not unknown to him, since the year two thousand three has been played in this field, adding six initial years in the cave of the Chivas of Guadalajara.
But the challenge of reorganizing the basic forces of Pumas needs something more than trajectory, but to know how to aquilate the university spirit that has characterized these colors and where inexplicably people with a trajectory such as Hugo Sánchez, Alberto García Aspe and Ricardo Ferretti are deleted.

He then made a step forward as a youth coach in the Mexican national team, where he worked for a decade as general technical-tactical coordinator, general coordinator and director of methodology in a stage of good results for the minor categories.
After leaving the Tricolor in the year two thousand nineteen, Ortega continued his career in the ballooning of the United States with Los Angeles Galaxy, where he was at the forefront of the methodology and development of the youth academy for two years.
His way brought him back to Mexican territory to incorporate with the Tigers of the Autonomous University of Nuevo León, an institution where he served as director of basic forces for four years, focused on the acquisition and formation of new talents, taking a final step as a technical assistant in Querétaro before assuming this month of September of two thousand twenty-six the managerial bench of the cave of the Pumas.
