With the recent instability within and around the Mexican Football Federation, newly minted Director of National Teams’ Nestor De La Torre has confirmed that Javier Aguirre will remain with Mexico whether they qualify for South Africa 2010 or not.

The contract Aguirre signed is guaranteed through the World Cup, which means he cannot be sacked prematurely, much the same way Hugo Sanchez and Sven-Goran Eriksson before him were.

“The contract is two-fold. The first part is for qualifying and the second for the World Cup. The responsibility is to advance past this phase and get to South Africa,” De La Torre said. “The commitment is there on our part. There is no loophole or anything that would allow us not to fulfill our obligation.”

With such job security, Aguirre will likely be free from the ever-present speculation that surrounded two of his predecessors. With failing results, both Sanchez and Eriksson were under constant scrutiny.

Aguirre, who will reportedly live in Miami while he is managing El Tri, will not have a friendly match before Mexico play El Salvador on June 6 in their next World Cup qualifier. Additionally, he will not have much time with the team as a whole before the game.

Federation officials tried to facilitate the two without much success.

“To put together a game is very difficult. We tried but could not do it,” De La Torre admitted. “Remember that next month is the final of the domestic tournament during which we cannot hold a national team camp because there are games midweek and on the weekend. What we are looking at is having a camp and have the manager call in his players ahead of the time when they were going to join the team before the next match. The only way to do that is to call in the players who will not participate in the finals.”
