André Jardine opens up on his future after Concachampions exit | OneFootball

André Jardine spoke at a press conference after being eliminated by Nashville in the Quarterfinals of the Concacaf Champions Cup.

Once again, the team fell well short of expectations. Their “only” task was to win at the Estadio Azteca, and not only did they fail to do so, they also suffered a defeat, their first against an MLS team in the renovated stadium.

One of the questions for América’s still-current coach was about his future, to which Jardine responded bluntly: He will stay as long as the board and the players want him to.

“I always imagine two situations for ending a cycle: the day either Baños or the boss (Azcárraga) thinks the best path for América is a change, they have every right to do so and to want a coach they trust, and the second is if I feel the group is no longer connecting with me or that we have some internal problem.

Wednesday will be an important day because we’ll do an analysis with management and with the group of players, and if I feel the support of both sides, I’ll feel like continuing,” were his words.

Perhaps the best path for André was to step aside, especially because it doesn’t seem like he has the solution to turn the team around, at least for what they have left, which is the Clausura 2026.

But at the same time, it’s understandable that if he still believes in this group, he wants to keep chasing a goal that seems very far away, which is winning this Liga MX title.
