This is getting out of hand; Martín Anselmi is already being booed after a bad start with Porto

Martín Anselmi and his foray into European football has taken a complicated turn, becoming a nightmare for the Argentine coach. Since his arrival at Porto , the former Cruz Azul coach has not been able to find the best version of his team, which has generated doubts and criticism from fans and the local press.

The most recent episode of this difficult stage was the 1-1 draw against Vitória Sport Clube at the Estadio do Dragão . This result distances the team from its objectives in the championship and sparked the discontent of the fans, who did not hesitate to express their frustration with boos after the final whistle.

Doubts about Anselmi's project have been lingering since his arrival in Portugal, but they have intensified after Porto's recent elimination from the UEFA Europa League . The Portuguese team lost to Roma 3-2 (4-3 on aggregate) in the playoffs on the way to the round of 16 of the European tournament, a hard blow for the club and its coach.

The outlook does not look encouraging for Anselmi, who faces a test against SC Braga. This match is crucial, as both teams are fighting for third place in the league, and a new setback could bring the possibility of his departure even closer.

Rumours about the board's disillusionment have begun to gain strength in the local press. The disillusionment of the fans could end his adventure in Portugal sooner than expected. The match against Braga is shaping up to be an ultimatum for Martín Anselmi in his attempt to get Porto back on track.

AND TO TOP IT OFF, THERE IS A DEMAND

Adding to the complicated situation of Martín Anselmi in Portugal is a new legal conflict. Cruz Azul recently filed a lawsuit before the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) against the Argentine coach for an amount of five million dollars. The legal action arises because Anselmi left the cement team without paying the termination clause stipulated in his contract with the Liga MX institution.

The Mexican club's legal department decided to take the dispute to the CAS, and the authority accepted the claim more than 15 days ago. Both parties are expected to present the corresponding evidence in the legal process so that the Sports Court can issue a verdict.

This new problem adds to the growing pressure on the coach, who is going through a difficult time both on and off the pitch. While facing criticism for his performance at Porto, he will also have to answer to the lawsuit filed by his former club.
