Chivas is close to completing Gabriel Milito as his new manager. Again, the red-white plate seems to turn to an Argentinian coach-a decision that controversial has fueled. Argentinian journalist Toti Pasman criticized the Mexican club because he continued to favor managers from his country.
The recent agency of Fernando Gago in Chivas and Martín Anselmi in Cruz Azul left a bad impression of Argentinian coaches in Liga MX.

'Mexicans need a psychologist. They hate Argentines, but they keep hiring them '
From Argentina, critics in Mexican clubs for their continuous preference for Argentinian talent. Pasman, a commentator for DS Sports, did not stop his assessment. “Mexicans don't learn. They hire Gago, then he goes to Boca, they dump him.” Bofo “Bautista says he is waste, this and that. A new season starts and they are looking for another Argentinian coach.”
He added: “Of course, Milito is not Gago, but what if Tomorrow Independente or the Argentinian national team calls him? He can just walk to Chivas and go home,” Pasman said the Fútbol se Habla Así during the show.
Pasman's criticism did not stop there. He referred to the struggles of the Mexican national team and recent tensions between Messi and Mexican fans. 'Mexicans don't learn. They kept Martino and then accepted Cocca. In Chivas they were cursing Gago, now they are going to bring in Milito. It is as if they have a hatred hate relationship with Argentines. They fought Messi in Qatar in Qatar, and now they keep obsessed with Argentinian football-they need a psychologist. Your mind, “he explained.
