Juárez unexpectedly resigned from his position despite having six months left on his contract and the possibility of an extension, reportedly due to differences with the sports vice-presidency.

It's something that I really wouldn't like to comment on because I don't know 100% the context of how things happened... the focus is right now here on the Mexican national team.

When pressed for his thoughts on Juárez's exit, Martínez stated, "It's something that I really wouldn't like to comment on because I don't know 100% the context of how things happened... the focus is right now here on the Mexican national team," he told TUDN. He emphasized that his current priority is with the national team, implying that internal club matters are not his immediate concern.

We'll see what sounds good for us; on a personal level, we'll see what comes next," he shared, indicating an uncertain but hopeful outlook for his future with the club.
