After a disastrous end to their season, Cruz Azul decided to fire Benjamin Galindo and bring back Enrique Meza. Many names were thrown around as a possible replacement for Galindo. Out of all of them, they seemingly got the best one.

Meza brought nothing less than success to his now former club Pachuca. Now it's time for Meza to be reunited for the fourth time with Cruz Azul and also with one of his former pupils.

Luis Angel Landin played under "El Ojitos" from 2006-2007, where he supposedly left in bad terms with Meza. But as soon as Meza's appointment was made official, Landin was more than happy to see his former manager back, reported La Jornada.

"It has always been said that me and him did not end on good terms. That never happened, we never clashed we always spoke face to face. He is a person that likes to confront his players. I left in good terms with him and it gives me joy that he comes to coach a team like Cruz Azul," said Landin.

Landin and Meza enjoyed a lot of success together. While they were at Pachuca they won the 2006 and 2007 Clausura championship. They also won the 2007 CONCACAF Champions Cup, which led them to the Club World Cup.

Landin was the leading scorer for Cruz Azul netting seven times this season, and arguably having the best goal of the season. The coaching change could just boost up Landin's attack as Meza is a very attack oriented manager.  Both will try to pursue greatness again but this time with slightly different colors.
