The Mexican Referees Committee is facing an unexpected shake-up with the resignation of Enrique Osses, who served as an instructor within the organization led by Armando Archundia. The former Chilean referee has decided to step down from his role within the Mexican Football Federation (FMF) and, according to reports, will take on the presidency of the Referees Committee in the Costa Rican Football Federation. Despite the criticism Osses had received in recent months due to the lack of preparation of some referees in Liga MX, his departure is not related to that issue. Instead, his decision is driven by a professional opportunity in Costa Rica, where he would be offered a higher-ranking role. The news was confirmed by journalist Paco Arredondo from TUDN, who reported that Osses announced his resignation during a recent refereeing seminar.
Now, the big question is what direction the Mexican Referees Committee will take. With Osses's departure, Armando Archundia is left without a key instructor in the structure, which could lead to changes within the organization. The FMF will have to decide whether to appoint a new person in his place or leave the technical area without a direct leader. Among the possible candidates to fill Osses's vacancy are controversial and critical figures of the Mexican refereeing system. Names like former referees Felipe Ramos Rizo, Francisco Chacón, and Marco Rodríguez are mentioned, who at different times have pointed out deficiencies in national refereeing. The recently retired Fernando Guerrero also emerges as a potential candidate, who could bring his recent on-field experience. With a vast international refereeing career, Enrique Osses leaves a legacy in Liga MX. His work in implementing VAR and training referees marked his tenure in Mexico, although his management was also a topic of debate. Now, his challenge will be to bring his knowledge and experience to Costa Rican refereeing, while in Mexico, a new chapter opens with questions about the future of the Referees Committee.
