Rodolfo Cota's future decided, will he stay at América? | OneFootball

Rodolfo Cota arrived at América in mid-2025 with a secondary role, which consisted of being Luis Ángel Malagón’s backup and contributing all his experience to the team.

The 38-year-old goalkeeper accepted that role and throughout his time there only played in a few matches, the vast majority of them friendlies.

But an unfortunate injury to Luis Ángel Malagón opened the door for him to become América’s starting goalkeeper, and during the regular phase he delivered spectacular performances, although it is true that in the playoffs against Pumas his level dropped compared to what he had been showing.

His contract was set to expire this June, and after that he was supposed to return to León, the club with which he still had one year left on his deal.

His future has been decided.

The board decided to renew his contract for one more year, so Rodolfo Cota chose to terminate the remaining year on his contract with León in order to sign for one more year with Las Águilas.

It is now official that he will be an América goalkeeper until at least mid-2027, and it is also a fact that he will be the starting goalkeeper for this second half of the year, since Luis Ángel Malagón will not return until the end of 2026.

This also puts an end to the rumor that Guillermo Ochoa could return to América to retire from professional football, since it would make no sense to have two veteran goalkeepers.
