Guido Pizarro resigns as Tigres UANL head coach
Guido Pizarro, the Argentine former captain who spent 13 years with Tigres UANL as a player and later became head coach in March 2025, announced his resignation on 28 July 2026. The club said the decision was for personal reasons and the result of a prolonged process of reflection and conversations, not the team's early‑season results.
Pizarro left after the first two Apertura 2026 fixtures – a 3‑1 loss to Xolos de Tijuana and a 2‑2 draw with Atlético San Luis – and cited a loss of certainty about the project’s direction and differences with the board over player reinforcements. During his tenure he managed roughly 70‑74 official matches, recording 33 wins, 22 draws and 19 defeats.
The club appointed U‑21 coach Hernán Elizondo as interim head coach, assisted by U‑19 coach Carlos Turrubiates, while it searches for a permanent replacement.
