More changes could come in Mexican soccer and the guillotine would go through Mikel Arriola, who in January 2021 took over as president of Liga MX, but some owners are not very satisfied with his decisions, the recent Leagues Cup being the “cherry on the cake” of disagreements.
This Thursday on FOX Sports Radio, our colleague Fernando Cevallos revealed that the owners of Liga MX would meet soon to listen to the “revolutionary” project of Juan Carlos Rodríguez as high commissioner of Mexican soccer, but on the agenda would also be to evaluate the continuity of Mikel Arriola at his post.

In addition to all the changes that have been made to the structure and organization chart of the National Teams, Liga MX could be the next to suffer a shake from its top manager, according to information shared by the journalist.
“We learned that they are calling an extraordinary meeting of the Owners for the end of September, Juan Carlos Rodríguez will present his project there and one of the issues that could be discussed is the continuity or not of Mikel Arriola at the helm of the MX League,” he said. Cevallos.
Possible replacement for Mikel Arriola
As the saying goes, in the Mexican Federation they would not “step without a huarache” in case of dismissing Arriola from Liga MX, since a name has emerged as his possible replacement, someone with extensive experience in the sports field both in private entities as governmental.
“There are many owners who are upset about what happened in the Leagues Cup, the money, they didn’t like the deal, they didn’t like Mikel’s actions very much and his continuity can be discussed. The name of Horacio de la Vega is already starting to sound around there, but that meeting in September could mean the departure of Mikel ”.
During Arriola’s tenure, Liga MX experienced one of the darkest episodes in its history with the pitched fight between Querétaro and Atlas fans at the La Corregidora Stadium.
In sports, it has not been possible to arrange a return to competitions such as the Copa Libertadores or the Sudamericana, although the creation of the Leagues Cup was an “international showcase” -according to his words- for Mexican soccer, although the result was disappointing because only Rayados reached the Semifinals.
