Tensions at Rayados de Monterrey have reached a boiling point following a heated confrontation between Sergio Canales and Martín Demichelis. According to Fútbol Total, the argument erupted after a training session, with Canales, the 34-year-old Spanish playmaker and former captain, voicing his frustrations with the Argentine coach. The incident is particularly notable given the ongoing uncertainty surrounding Demichelis’ future at the club, amid a string of disappointing results.
The altercation underscores the mounting pressure within the squad, as Canales has visibly shown his dissatisfaction with the team’s performances on the field. With a contract at Rayados through 2026 and a transfer fee of over $10 million, Canales has been a key figure, racking up 77 appearances, 30 goals, and 16 assists. However, his relationship with Demichelis now seems to be on shaky ground, adding more uncertainty to the coach’s position.
The fallout from this clash could have significant consequences for the club, as the board closely monitors the situation and weighs its next steps.
