The people have treated me very well, my son was born in Guadalajara, it's something that we will always have.

Hierro was also questioned about the controversial departure of Óscar García, but he refused to make any statements about it. However, he pointed out the details that motivated him to leave the Tapatío team.
"In life, in the end, there are more things: it's not just about sports. There are many more personal things, therefore, it's not going to change the fact that I always wish them the best," he mentioned.
