Tigres UANL coaching transition – search narrows

Entities: Carlos Emilio González · Guido Pizarro · Tigres UANL · Juan Carlos Osorio · Hernán Elizondo

Overview

On 28 July 2026, Guido Pizarro resigned as head coach of Liga MX side Tigres UANL after two Apertura 2026 matches, citing personal reasons and disagreements over player recruitment. The club appointed U‑21 coach Hernán Elizondo as interim head coach, assisted by U‑19 coach Carlos Turrubiates, while the board began evaluating permanent candidates. Initial prospects mentioned included Gerardo “Tata” Martino, former Mexican international Jaime Lozano, Ignacio “Nacho” Ambriz, and Javier Aguirre, who later declined interest.

By 30 July, the executive board, led by president Carlos Emilio González and vice‑president Carlos Valenzuela, announced that the search had been narrowed to three candidates, confirming Juan Carlos Osorio as a leading option. Former candidates Jaime Lozano and Ignacio Ambriz were explicitly ruled out. Vice‑sport director Gerardo Torrado said the new coach must raise the team’s level of play and fit a long‑term project. Funds generated from the recent sale of Ángel Correa to River Plate will be reinvested in the squad. The club continues to seek a permanent appointment before the Apertura 2026 season resumes.
