Azcarraga Jean visits Club America: to reprimand the Eagles?
Emilio Azcarraga Jean, owner of Club America, made a surprise visit to the team to demand the Concacaf Champions League and the Clausura 2026 title
The owner of Club America, Emilio Azcarraga Jean, attended the team's training session to reaffirm the objectives set for 2026 and supposedly tighten the screws due to the poor start of the Clausura 2026 tournament, where they have not registered any victories or goals in three games played.
It's no secret that America is not going through its best moment, and there is an atmosphere of turbulence due to the poor results and the internal struggles within the management that recently cost Diego Ramirez, the sporting director, his job.
While it is true that the poor results have raised alarm bells, no one expected the owner's visit to the America training session. However, after his arrival with his group of collaborators, it became clear to all the players what the objectives were that the head of the Eagles had set and which titles they must fight for at all costs.
Details of the visit
Since there was no official information about the visit of the America owner, it was defender Sebastian Caceres who gave details of the businessman's presence with the Eagles squad: “It was unexpected; it's always nice when "He's there. Here, he comes to express the expectations he has of us to achieve things and make it clear that if we are here, it's because we can achieve them."
Caceres emphasized that Emilio Azcarraga Jean not only demanded they win the Concacaf Champions League, a tournament they haven't won in a decade and which has prevented them from making a strong showing in international competitions like the Club World Cup.
“It's not that he demanded something from us, we've always known it: to win every competition. We have that objective, that we have ahead of us. Mainly, as we said, we're behind, we're focused on winning it, not only for the fans, it's important to win for all of us,” said Caceres.
Changes in the management
On the other hand,He stated that the recent changes at America, with the departure of Diego Ramirez,are completely unrelated to what they can do on the field, because the players' job is on the pitch. "It's something beyond our control; it's a management decision. If they make decisions, it's for the best, not always for any particular reason. Diego is an important person, he's part of the three-peat, and we're always grateful." Self-criticism at America: The Uruguayan defender commented that the team has discussed and analyzed what they've lacked so far this season, as the Eagles haven't won or scored a goal. "We stopped doing things in the first three games; we didn't create those scoring opportunities, and it's shown, but we've worked hard, the effort has been there," the Uruguayan defender emphasized. Regarding Jardine's comments after the game against Pachuca, where he promised that Club America fans would see the team's best performance against Necaxa, he indicated that those words were based on what the coach observes in training. "What Andre said was based on training; there was improvement. In the game against Pachuca, the team looked better, the team's performance improved. We've worked a lot during this break; it's mainly that. He spoke based on the work we've done and the change in attitude."
