🚨Official: Chivas confirm Chicharito Hernández's departure | OneFootball

Club Deportivo Guadalajara has issued an official statement to inform its fans that Javier Hernández Balcázar is concluding his second spell as a Chivas player. The bond between the Sacred Flock and the forward, who was developed at the club, has come to an end.

A Historic Icon

The club highlighted the career and legacy of ‘Chicharito’ as one of the greatest icons of Mexican football. In his first spell with Chivas, Hernández won the Liga title in the Apertura 2006 and the individual top scorer award in the Bicentenario 2010, before embarking on a successful career in Europe.

Additionally, with 52 goals, Chicharito remains the all-time top scorer for the Mexican National Team, with whom he participated in three World Cups.

The Legacy He Leaves Behind

In his return home, which lasted almost two years, the forward contributed his vast experience, serving as a fundamental guide for the young players on the squad. The club highlighted his role as a mentor to players like Armando González, the current top scorer in Liga MX.

Chivas thanked Hernández for his dedication and passion during his second spell as a red-and-white, and wished him the greatest success in his professional future.
