Mexico City — Antonio “Turco” Mohamed, the Argentinian manager of top-ranking Mexican Liga MX football club Deportivo Toluca, is making headlines as he prepares to take on a longstanding rival, Tigres, at the notorious Estadio Universitario, also known as “El Volcán”. Mainly known for the challenging environment it creates for visiting teams.
Turco’s Tricky Past at El Volcán
As the head coach, Antonio Mohamed has largely been unsuccessful at the Estadio Universitario. Over the past ten years, Turco has visited the venue 15 times, leading various illustrious Mexican clubs, and has only managed to win twice, with seven draws and six losses. Notably, the coach hasn’t achieved a win at the stadium since 2016 and his most recent attempt ended in a 0-0 draw during the Clausura 2026 championship.
Challenging History, Favorable Dynamics
The upcoming match sees Turco and his Toluca side coming in from a position of strength. The team, colloquially known as Diablos Rojos, is currently the league leader with 20 points. Contrastingly, their rivals, Tigres, managed by Manuel Vucetich, are currently languishing in 15th place in the league. The current dynamics and form of both teams provide a noteworthy context to this duel, raising the question of whether Turco can ultimately overcome his ‘El Volcán’ curse.

The upcoming clash between Toluca and Tigres this Friday has a lot at stake. A victory for Toluca could finally put an end to Turco’s decade-long inability to secure a win at the Estadio Universitario. Furthermore, it will solidify their standing at the top of the Liga MX table, while a defeat could provide a much-needed morale boost for the struggling Tigres.
