André Jardine leaves América and Guillermo Almada would take his place
The changes in the América board apparently are not to the liking of coach André Jardine and that is why he has his suitcases ready to leave
Everything seems to indicate that the Brazilian coach André Jardine has his days numbered in América after unofficial versions assure that the three-time champion strategist of the Águilas is not happy with the changes that have been made in the high command of the Coapa team.
The option for Jardine to leave the helm of América is so strong that it is assured that the Uruguayan Guillermo Almada, currently without a team after his time at Oviedo in Spain, would take his place for the start of the Apertura 2026 tournament.
When it seemed that everything was going smoothly in the American camp ahead of the Apertura 2026 tournament, this rumor has set off alarms after the version was leaked that the departure of Héctor González Iñarritú last month and Diego Ramírez in the middle of the tournament put the coach on alert who believes that his philosophy does not agree with the new idea of the leaders who will take charge of the team.
The data provided to La Opinión by a source worthy of all credit within América assures that the first contacts with the Catalan Ferran Reverter, new General Director of Controladora Deportiva Águilas who took the place of Héctor González Iñarritú, have not been very cordial and that at all times the questions outweigh the recognition for what he did for the azulcrema organization.
It is even managed within the American environment that Santiago Baños will be relocated to another area of the team to leave the way clear for Reverter to make the managerial decisions for the new assembly of the squad, where some changes are coming.
The person who provided the data to this publishing house under the condition of anonymity assures that Jardine has put on the table his decision to leave the team and leave the way clear for them to find a new leader who satisfies their needs and adapts to the work methodology brought by the Spanish manager, which is now fashionable in the world of football.
It is said that one of the candidates to replace Jardine is the Uruguayan Guillermo Almada, who has just left the technical direction of Oviedo in Spain and would arrive to put together the work plan for the next tournament, which must be immediately due to the time pressure that exists for its start, which is scheduled for the month of June.
The news has spread like wildfire, especially because things seemed calm in América and that both the team's new sports manager agreed with Jardine, especially because of the contribution he gave to this organization, but in the end the questions have weighed too much.
