After the resignation of the Argentine Fernando Ortiz as technical director of Club América, the Azulcrema team considers among its main candidates two foreign strategists with experience in the MX League.
According to ESPN, one of them is the Brazilian André Jardine, current strategist for Atlético de San Luis, who was eliminated in the quarterfinals, precisely against the Coapa squad.
Sources from the American environment assured said medium that the winner of the gold medal in Tokyo 2020 likes the board of the Eagles, headed by Santiago Baños, for the game he showed during the Liguilla.
It is worth mentioning that the Atlético de San Luis board shielded the strategist with a clause. Jardine has one year left on his contract with the San Luis institution, with which he has already won two instances of the quarterfinals.
The Brazilian has become the most effective strategist in charge of the Las Tunas franchise since his promotion to the First Division in 2019. Another achievement is that at the command of the South American, the St. Louis Athletic managed to add the most points as a local.
However, it is not the strongest option to fill the position, but Diego Alonso, former coach of the Uruguay team in the Qatar 2022 World Cup.
But apart from the failure with the “charrúas”, Alonso already knows what it is to be a champion in the MX League because he won the title with Pachuca in the Clausura 2016; In addition, two Scotiabank Concacaf Champions League titles with Tuzos and another with Rayados de Monterrey.
Below are other options such as the former Boca Juniors, Gustavo Alfaro; the Portuguese Pedro Caixinha; and the former coach of the Mexican National Team, Gerardo Martino.
