Club America has confirmed Guillermo Almada as the new coach of the team, who will replace André Jardine. Almada has experience in Mexican football and has won titles with Santos Laguna and Pachuca. The arrival of Almada marks the end of the era of André Jardine, who leaves the club after three years of management. Jardine leaves the club as the most successful coach in American history, having won a historic tricampeonato of Liga MX (Apertura 2023, Clausura 2024 and Apertura 2024). Under his management, the Eagles also lifted the Campeón de Campeones 2024, the Supercopa de la Liga MX and the Campeones Cup 2024, consolidating one of the most fruitful stages of the institution. However, Jardine's project began to show wear and tear after the final loss to Toluca in 2025 and the elimination in the playoff of the World Club Championship against LAFC. Despite the initial plans of the board and the Brazilian, the lack of agreements in the planning and the pending debt in the ‘Concachampions’ —where the team was eliminated in the quarterfinals in both 2025 and 2026— precipitated his departure. ‘You became the most successful coach in the Club and your mark will remain permanently in our history’, said the club in an official farewell statement. With six titles in his possession, Jardine leaves Coapa leaving a very high bar for Almada, who will have the mission of renewing the illusion of a fan base that, after the recent elimination against Pumas, demands to return to the top of Mexican football.
