Is anyone familiar with a similar phrase to "You've got your work cut out for you" that people in Mexico may say ?

¡Gracias!

No,it means the opposite,it means it will be very difficult or "You have a lot of work to do on this(person)".

Ah, well, then the opposite:

Con este trabajo lo tendrá complicado.

This would be a colloquial phrase.

Say for instance a very good futbol player joined a team that wasn't very good. The coach may say to him: "you've got your work cut out for you."

Does that help'

Do we have some context, anna?

Possibly:

Aquí tiene su trabajo asignado.
