Coach André Jardine declined an offer from a Liga MX team, as revealed by sources linked to Mexican football. Despite being a highly coveted name in the local championship, the former Club América commander chose not to accept the new job offer.

André Jardine’s departure from command of Club América was made official at the beginning of June, occurring by mutual agreement that ended one of the most prosperous phases in the club’s history. During his tenure, he led the team to three consecutive Liga MX titles. However, after this victorious sequence, both sides decided to follow different paths.

Jardine accumulated a total of six official trophies while at the helm of Club América. However, in the last three editions of the national tournament, the team failed to secure the championship, and the Brazilian coach also missed two chances to lift the CONCACAF Champions League trophy. The pressure increased considerably, and the budget reduction led to the end of its cycle in Coapa, with the board opting for Guillermo Almada to rebuild the cast.

Pachuca approached André Jardine to take over technical command

After the announcement of André Jardine’s release from Club América and the unexpected departure of Esteban Solari from Pachuca, the Tuzos board promptly contacted the former América coach. The invitation was for Jardine to take on the role of head coach, however, he declined the offer, despite the attractive financial and sporting conditions that were presented.

The information was made public by journalist Raúl Gómez, detailing that André Jardine had committed to Club América not to immediately assume leadership of another Liga MX club. This commitment reflects a greater desire of the Brazilian coach: to return one day to Coapa, América’s headquarters, demonstrating strong loyalty and future aspiration towards his former team, where he won consecutive Liga MX titles, a notable feat in the recent history of the championship.

Benjamín Mora is Pachuca’s new coach

The Pachuca board, in turn, announced Benjamín Mora as the name chosen to lead its new sports project. The Mexican coach has built a solid trajectory both on the national and international scene, being recognized for his offensive approach and his ability to develop young talents.

In Liga MX, Mora managed Atlas in 2023, guiding the Guadalajara team to the playoff stage. He later took over Querétaro, where he worked to put together a competitive project, despite the cast’s limited resources. He also has significant experience abroad, especially in Malaysian football, enriching his professional profile.
