After the 2021 Apertura of the Liga MX Femenil for the Diablas Rojas del Toluca of Alberto Cuate ended, well below expectations again, the scarlet board announced changes in the team’s coaching staff.
Las Diablas, who finished the tournament in position number twelve with eighteen points as a result of 5 victories, 3 draws and 9 defeats were among the teams that were best strengthened for this tournament, however, the level shown was deficient and generated a lot of Annoyance in the fans of Toluca who already demanded a change in the technical direction.
This is how Toluca issued a statement in which it was reported that Alberto Cuate, who had taken the reins of the team since September 2019, was no longer part of the institution and instead, the person in charge of directing the Diablas would be Gabriel “El Magician “Velasco.
A surprise bet for many fans, because the Magician, who was linked to Deportivo Toluca as a footballer for four years, will just begin his journey as technical director, after being part of the Colts UAEM of the now-defunct Ascenso MX.
Velasco, 35, will hope to give this team from Toluca the long-awaited pass to the league that this tournament was frustrated due to the results obtained. It will be interesting to see how this team works under the command of the “Magician” in his first experience as manager of the institution where he spent most of his football career as a professional player.
The Diablas historically have been a frequent team in final instances, as they have participated in the Fiesta Grande on four occasions in the eight tournaments of the Liga MX Femenil that have been played at the moment (nine if we consider the unfinished Clausura 2020) being the last participation Scarlet just last tournament when they faced and were eliminated by Chivas Femenil in the quarterfinals.
