Tigres narrows head‑coach search to three candidates, including Juan Carlos Osorio
Guido Pizarro resigned as Tigres head coach before the third matchday of the Apertura 2026 season. The club’s executive board, led by president Carlos Emilio González and vice‑president executive Carlos Valenzuela, announced that the search will be narrowed to three candidates. Juan Carlos Osorio was confirmed as one of the names under consideration, while former candidates Jaime Lozano and Ignacio Ambriz were explicitly ruled out. The selection process is being coordinated with vice‑sport director Gerardo Torrado, who said the new coach must both raise the team’s level of play and fit a long‑term project. Resources generated from the recent sale of Ángel Correa to River Plate will be reinvested in the squad. After Pizarro’s departure, Tigres also approached Javier Aguirre, who declined the offer, leaving the club to continue its search for a replacement as quickly as possible.
