In his first season 1993/94 in Mexico , he played 37 of 38 possible games for the Toros and lacked only the 2: 8 debacle against Cruz Azul , located on 9 February 1994 in the Estadio Hidalgo of Pachuca had occurred in which the Toros had to temporarily evade that season due to problems with their own stadium.

In his second game, a home game against the Tiburones Rojos Veracruz , which was played at the Estadio Neza 86 on October 27, 1993 and was won 3-1 thanks to his "brace", he scored his first two of a total of eleven goals that season . Also in the 1995/96 season Mohamed scored eleven goals, with his quota was even better because he completed only 33 (of 34) games in this. He also got the same number of hits in the 1996/97 season, which was for the first time divided into a round-trip tournament , where he also scored a goal in the Liguillas , so that he "only" got ten hits in the league round. In the second half of this season, the Torneo Verano 1997 , he was also involved in the best result in the history of the Toros, when the team qualified for the finals for the Mexican championship, but there with an overall result of 2: 7 (1: 1 and 1: 6) clearly defeated against record champions Chivas .

After leaving the Toros in the summer of 1998, Mohamed stayed in the country of the Aztecs and ended his active career there in the summer of 2003 with the second division club Zacatepec .

In the summer of 2005 he returned to Argentina and took over his heart club Huracán, with whom he also made promotion to the first division as a coach in 2007, which he had already achieved as a player 17 years earlier.
