América announce sporting director's departure | OneFootball

Today, Club América announced that Diego Ramírez, the sporting director of Club América, is leaving the team with immediate effect in order to continue his growth within Grupo Ollamani in the sports division.

Diego joined América several years ago, with his first role being the sporting director for the women's team, and later moving to the men's division to support Santiago Baños in matters of player signings and departures.

Is he leaving due to differences with André Jardine?

For several days now, journalist David Medrano had stated that there would be changes in the club’s sporting management due to differences with the coaching staff.

A few days later, his prediction came true, and the same journalist emphasized that Diego Ramírez’s departure was due to such significant differences that he wanted André Jardine out.

However, the top management at América, led by Emilio Azcárraga and Carlos Barcel, opposed the dismissal of the coaching staff, so they decided to remove Diego from his position and transfer him to another area of the company, away from Club América.

For now, no further changes are expected, but it wouldn’t be a surprise if, by mid-year, they decide to bring in another sporting director to work alongside Santiago Baños and Héctor González Iñárritu, who serves as the operations director.
