Fernando Gago sacked by Necaxa after 1-1 draw with Mazatlán | OneFootball

FERNANDO GAGO once again faced a bitter setback in his career as a coach: he was dismissed from Necaxa of Mexico after a 1-1 draw with Mazatlán as a visitor in the final round of Liga MX.

The former Boca coach was let go for the second time this year, after Juan Román Riquelme decided to fire him following the loss in the Superclásico against River in April.

With the Mexican team, he was in charge for 20 matches, with five wins, six draws, and nine losses. In the Apertura, he failed to qualify for the playoffs.

The former Argentina national team player had to leave Aldosivi and Racing due to poor results, was dismissed from Boca and Necaxa, and only left Chivas of his own accord, breaking his contract to take over at Boca.

Due to his abrupt departure from one of the most important clubs in the Aztec country in 2024 and this poor campaign in 2025, he has come under fire from the Mexican press.
