Club América has officially named Guillermo Almada as its new head coach. The appointment, confirmed by the club, signals a major leadership shift following the departure of former manager André Jardine.
Who is responsible for the coaching change?
While the club has moved forward with Almada, the transition has been clouded by internal friction. According to local media reports, América executive Ferran Reverter is being singled out as the primary figure responsible for the exits of both André Jardine and Baños.
The financial impact of the Estadio Azteca remodel
The departure of André Jardine has brought to light tensions regarding the club’s financial priorities. Jardine claimed that the ongoing remodeling of the Estadio Azteca played a decisive role in the team’s inability to secure more titles.

Jardine suggested that the funds diverted toward the stadium renovations could have instead been used to strengthen the squad, which he believes would have rendered the team “unbeatable.”
What happens next for Club América?
With the official announcement of Guillermo Almada’s arrival, the club now shifts its focus to the technical implementation of his leadership. While the club has confirmed Almada’s appointment, the team must now navigate the fallout of its previous administration’s disputes and the perceived financial constraints caused by its infrastructure projects.
