Legend of America analyzes the process of André Jardine
After a couple of complex campaigns, André Jardine's process has generated doubts in the American environment. Aquivaldo Mosquera analyzed the club's present
The Águilas del América had a more complex season than usual. André Jardine's team could not be the protagonist of Clausura 2026 and in international tournaments it continues to fall short. Aquivaldo Mosquera, former player of the azulcrema team, analyzed the club's present.
André Jardine's team finished the regular round in eighth place in the general classification. The azulcremas passed in the last place that granted a place to the Liguilla. In the first step of this second phase of the championship, América was surpassed by the UNAM Pumas.
"I think it is important to understand that cycles sometimes also end, and so do triumphs. I wish we could always be winning, it is impossible, neither Real Madrid nor Barcelona always win, but I think there has been a change in the team," Mosquera began in a statement published by Récord.
In the continental context, the Águilas del América also had problems. The azulcrema team was eliminated by Nashville in the quarterfinals of the Concacaf Nations League. Aquivaldo Mosquera recalled that André Jardine lost important players for this tournament. Álvaro Fidalgo left in the middle of the season. The Spaniard was an immovable piece in the midfield.
"Important players have left and that changes the structure a little and we must also be aware of that, that from these changes comes the adaptation of some players, it is practically six months for one to adapt well to the change and well. I believe that we must also give time to that type of players so that they adapt and can show their best version," he added.
André Jardine's latest tournaments
The Brazilian strategist was the great leader in obtaining the three-time championship with the Águilas del América. However, Apertura 2025 and Clausura 2026 have been two tournaments with low returns.
Jardine has directed 38 games in his last championships in Liga MX. The Brazilian strategist maintains a balance of 18 wins, 6 draws and 10 losses. By adding his time in the Concacaf Champions League, Jardine would accumulate 3 draws and 1 more defeat.
Until now it is unknown what the fate of André Jardine may be in the Águilas del América. The Brazilian coach assured that his continuity depends exclusively on the club's board. Jardine has already directed 162 games with the azulcrema team, his longest process in his short career as a coach.
