These are the technical directors who will gain their first experience in a final phase of the Liga MX.
The MX competition features a unique structure called the League, where after the regular phase the event moves into direct elimination duels. It is possible for teams lower in the standings to advance by winning in the knockout rounds. This format makes the closing stages distinct; some managers thrive under the pressure, while others who reach this phase for the first time still manage to shine.
In GOAL we present the coaches entering the Clausura 2023 Liga MX knockout rounds.
