Ángel Villacampa arrived at América Femenil in 2022 with the goal of raising the team’s level and winning championships that would allow them to rank among the most successful clubs in the category.

After three years, unfortunately, that has not been the case; the team’s level has improved, that is a fact, but the titles still have not arrived in Coapa, despite the fact that it is the team that has played the most finals in recent years.

Last tournament, he lost his sixth final with the team, falling by a 4-3 aggregate score against Tigres in a series that after 45 minutes they were winning by a three-goal margin.

He currently has the team in the tournament semifinal, but because of the track record, the fans are no longer happy with that and expect them to finally lift the Liga MX Femenil trophy again.

Atlético de Madrid wants to take him.

A lot has been said about Villacampa’s future at América; for obvious reasons, the fans in general no longer want him, but the board has decided to keep backing him.

In the midst of this, reports in Spain say that Atlético de Madrid has him as its main candidate to manage the team next season.

It is clear that if he does not win the title with América Femenil, his departure is basically certain, but if he does lift the trophy, the normal thing would be for them to want him to continue, though that cannot be guaranteed due to the Spanish club’s interest.

We will have to wait until the tournament ends to find out what will happen with the still-current Eagles coach.
