Coach Guillermo Almada Guides Club América to Unbeaten Start in Leagues Cup

Guillermo Almada, the Uruguayan coach of Club América, says the team must be a protagonist in every competition and has delivered an unbeaten run across Liga MX and the Leagues Cup. After a win over San Diego FC and a draw against Xolos, América became the only Mexican side without a loss in all tournaments, surpassing the record set by former coach André Jardine.

Almada’s strategy emphasizes young Mexican talent and a squad built without high‑profile signings. The team is set to face Portland Timbers on 9 August and Austin FC on 13 August in the Leagues Cup, while also preparing to defend its Apertura 2026 lead against Atlético de San Luis on 16 August.
