Fernando Gago traveled to Mexico to start his project in Necaxa
Fernando Gago supposedly took a flight to arrive in Aguascalientes, where he will assume the technical direction of Necaxa
According to unofficial reports, the Argentine technical director Fernando Gago traveled from Buenos Aires to the city of Aguascalientes, Mexico, to start the project in Necaxa, in the place that his compatriot Nicolás will leave vacant Larcamón, who will supposedly coach Cruz Azul.
This was revealed through the sports channel ESPN Argentina, where it was confirmed that Gago was present at Ezeiza Airport in Buenos Aires, where he was caught boarding a flight to Aguascalientes, home of the Necaxa team.
Right at the airport terminal in the Argentine capital, the former Chivas and Boca Juniors coach was seen in some video footage signing autographs as he headed to his lounge to board the plane that would take him to Mexico.
This is how it was confirmed that Gago is one step away from being announced as the new coach of Necaxa, heading up another project in Liga MX, where he left through the back door by leaving the technical direction of Chivas using his contract termination clause.
The Argentine coach's decision was highly controversial, not because he invoked what was established in his contract, but because ways he did it: first denying that there was any offer from Boca Juniors and then as the days went by accepting that his days were numbered in Guadalajara without caring that the Sacred Flock was going to compete in the playoffs for the title.
Gago even gave interviews where he reiterated that he would stay at Chivas del Guadalajara to finish his contract, but then he came out with the excuse that Boca cannot be told no and abandoned the project of the red and white team without saying goodbye and through the back door supported by the termination clause of his contract.
Gago's second project
Now Gago will begin the second process in the Liga MX, where it seems that the codes do not exist and anyone can trample on the administrations of one team or another,simply because they know that finding a team that needs their labor to stay in competition.
Thus, Gago with that weight on his shoulders will take on a Necaxa that managed to qualify for the playoffs in an important way and was on the verge of advancing to the next phase, but a last-minute goal from Tigres took that possibility away from them and now they were looking to go for that objective with greater weight of Larcamón's project.
But after how things moved at Cruz Azul with the departure of Vicente Sánchez and the offer for Larcamón, the door was opened for the return of Gago who in Chivas had a total of 38 games from January to October 2024, stringing together 17 wins, 12 losses and 9 draws and where he was able to play in the semifinals of the 2024 Clausura tournament.
