In Pachuca, where the women’s side are known as Las Diosas del Viento, the arrival of former Spain head coach Montse Tomé has reopened a difficult chapter involving one of the club’s most recognisable recent players, Jenni Hermoso.
Tomé takes charge in Pachuca
- Pachuca have formally confirmed the appointment of Montse Tomé as their new coach.
- Tomé arrives in Mexico after her spell in charge of the Spain women’s national team.
- Her appointment carries particular resonance at Pachuca because Jenni Hermoso represented the club between 2022 and 2024.
- Hermoso, now an Atlético de Madrid forward, had a strained relationship with Tomé during the coach’s time with Spain.
Hermoso’s social-media response
Shortly after Pachuca announced Tomé, Hermoso posted a pointed message on social media: “May the wind protect you.”
The wording was widely read as an indirect response to the coaching appointment. Pachuca’s women are popularly called the Goddesses of the Wind, giving Hermoso’s message a clear local reference as Tomé begins her new assignment in central Mexico.
