Guillermo Almada poised to become Club América head coach

Uruguayan coach Guillermo Almada arrived in Mexico, fueling reports that he will replace André Jardine as the next manager of Club América. The club, which recently dismissed Jardine after a league exit, is in a restructuring phase and sees Almada as a key figure for its new sporting project.

Almada’s hiring plan, disclosed by journalist Rubén Rodríguez, emphasizes a youth‑development strategy similar to his successful work with Pachuca’s academy. He is slated to be presented to the media on Saturday, 6 June, with pre‑season duties beginning on Monday, 8 June, as the team seeks important player signings to revitalize its performance.

The move reflects the club’s intent to give greater playing time to home‑grown talent and to rebuild after a disappointing season.
