Uruguayan managers guarantee success at Club América | OneFootball

The possible arrival of Guillermo Almada at América looks closer and closer. The Uruguayan coach is emerging as the leading candidate to take over as head coach of the azulcrema side, and if his hiring is finalized, he would join a select list of Uruguayan managers who have left their mark on the club.

Throughout its history, América has had only three Uruguayan managers in charge of the team: Roberto Scarone, Carlos “El Tanque” Miloc and Gustavo Matosas. Interestingly, all of them managed to win at least one title during their tenure.

Scarone won what was América’s first Liga MX title in what is now called the “professional era,” lifting the 1965 Mexican League trophy.

Some time later, Miloc also wrote memorable chapters by winning the Interamerican Cup and the Concacaf Champions’ Cup, while Matosas added another international achievement by winning the Concacaf Champions League in 2015.

Now, the responsibility could fall to Almada, a coach who has earned recognition in Mexican soccer thanks to his attacking approach, his ability to develop young players, and the results he has achieved with the teams he has managed.

We’ll see how things go for him, but for now his first two objectives will be the Apertura 2026 and the 2026 Leagues Cup, the two trophies Club América will be competing for in the second half of the year.
