La Volpe and the message to 'El Turco' Mohamed that worries Toluca: 'I see you at Boca'

Speculation is mounting around the future of Toluca's successful coach, Antonio Mohamed, following comments by former Mexican league manager Ricardo La Volpe. La Volpe revealed he spoke with Mohamed after Toluca's Concacaf Champions Cup victory and suggested the coach might be heading to the prestigious Argentine club Boca Juniors.

Mohamed, affectionately known as 'El Turco,' has revitalized Toluca, leading them to their first international title in 23 years and securing a spot in the upcoming Intercontinental Cup and the 2029 Club World Cup. His track record with various clubs has made him a sought-after figure, with Boca Juniors reportedly having him on their radar for some time.

Boca Juniors, having recently exited the Copa Libertadores, is facing significant pressure and is once again looking for a new manager. Mohamed's name has emerged as a primary candidate to take the helm at the Buenos Aires club.

La Volpe shared his conversation during an interview for the Argentine program "Acá Hay Buen Fútbol." He stated, "After the Concacaf, I spoke with him, congratulated him on the title, and besides, as I worked at Televisa, I had seen him in the final with Tigres, but beyond the congratulations, I told him: 'Well, now I see you at Boca.'"

While Boca Juniors' interest in Mohamed is known, there have been no official confirmations of discussions between the coach and the club's board. Mohamed himself has expressed a desire to remain with Toluca and is reportedly already planning for the next season, focusing on strengthening the squad.
