Emilio Azcárraga on Santiago Baños, is he going to sack him? | OneFootball

Santiago Baños has undoubtedly been the person most criticized by América fans in recent years. Since his arrival was announced in 2017, there was a lot of criticism because just a few years earlier, he had been Miguel Herrera’s assistant.

While it is true that his work has not been bad at all in terms of sporting achievements, what he has been questioned about most is transfers, often leaving positions unreinforced and even bringing in players who did not have what it takes to join América.

Emilio Azcárraga, the team’s owner, spoke in an interview with TUDN and, among many topics, addressed Santiago Baños’ staying on as the team’s sporting president and highlighted that he has achieved something unique at América.

“Santiago Baños is the most successful sporting president in Mexican soccer, period, despite the criticism and the hashtag #FueraBaños,” were the club owner’s words.

It is true that Baños has achieved sporting success with the team, but it is also a fact that he has left a lot to be desired when it comes to choosing signings. Without going any further, América went from having one of the best squads in its history to competing with several young players because there is not enough depth in the squad.

In this same transfer window, they have only managed to add two reinforcements, despite Guillermo Almada himself admitting that he still needs three more signings.
