Guillermo Almada leads race to become Club América manager | OneFootball

The departure of André Jardine as head coach of Club América has been confirmed, after three years with the institution in which he managed to win six titles, marking a historic milestone for the team.

Through a statement, Las Águilas reported that this came after several meetings between the coaching staff and the board, and by mutual agreement they decided to part ways with the Brazilian-born coach.

Now, with the preseason set to begin in just a few days, the board has started the search for a new coach, and everything seems to indicate that one candidate is already very close to taking the job.

According to information from TUDN and Claro Sports, Guillermo Almada is very close to becoming the new head coach of Las Águilas; only a few details remain before it can be made official.

Who is Guillermo Almada?

Guillermo Almada is a 56-year-old Uruguayan head coach who has had a long managerial career since 2008, when he started with a third-division team in Uruguay.

He has managed seven teams throughout his career, including two in Mexico (Santos and Pachuca), with his most successful spell undoubtedly coming with the ‘Tuzos,’ where he won Liga MX, the Concacaf Champions Cup, the Derbi de las Américas, and the Challenger Cup.

He is a coach who has especially stood out for developing young players, so it would not be surprising if in Coapa we begin to see more academy players in the first team.
