Estaba en la mira de América para ser el reemplazo de André Jardine y se iría a otro equipo de la Liga MX – Águilas Monumental

Club América is actively moving to secure a new head coach to replace André Jardine ahead of the Apertura 2026 tournament. The club is currently advancing negotiations to bring in a new leader to restore the team’s hierarchy following recent semesters.

Reports indicate that Guillermo Almada, the current strategist for Real Oviedo, has emerged as the primary target for the position. According to Águilas Monumental, Almada has already received a formal offer to take the reins of the project at Coapa.

The potential departure of Almada is being viewed as a significant event in Spanish football. Dorsal16 described the development as a seismic movement for the bench of Real Oviedo, noting that Almada is the chosen candidate for the Mexican club.

While the club has focused its efforts on Almada, other high-profile candidates were previously considered. Matías Almeyda had been heavily linked to the position for several weeks, with supporters expecting a strong move in the market to secure his services.

However, Almeyda will not be joining Club América. Information revealed by journalists César Luis Merlo and Antonio Nelly indicates that Almeyda’s future lies elsewhere in Liga MX. Directives from the Rayados de Monterrey are currently in Spain to finalize the details of his signing.

The search for a replacement for Jardine has placed the Club América bench under significant pressure. The club’s administration is seeking a manager with sufficient experience and a proven track record of success within Mexico to handle one of the most demanding positions in the league.

The transition comes as the club prepares for the Apertura 2026, with the board of directors taking definitive steps to reshape the technical leadership of the squad.
