Former Chivas players attack Gago; “He’s trash and a freeloader,” they say.

The temptation captivated Fernando Gago, who terminated his contract with Chivas in the middle of the Apertura 2024 tournament of the Liga Mx for an offer that, as a good Argentine, he could not refuse: direct Boca Juniors. Thus, Guadalajara lost its helmsman, which triggered controversy in Mexican soccer.

What Mr. Gago has done is a lack of seriousness, of professionalism, but all the coaches now are fun-lovingJavier said. Cabo Valdivia, who was a member of one of Guadalajara’s most winning teams in the 1970s.

Chivas, considered the Mexican team with the largest fans in the country, ended the uncertainty yesterday after several days in which the media, both national and Argentine, assured that Gago had an agreement to direct Boca Juniors, one of the largest teams. tradition in Argentina and that catapulted Diego Maradona towards international success.

The Guadalajara sports club reports that as of today Fernando Gago has been separated from his duties as technical director of Chivas. In the last hours, Gago informed the board of his decision to return to Argentina along with his coaching staff.indicated the red and white team in a statement in which it confirmed the helmsman’s intentions.

Irregular results

Chivas’ announcement comes just a few days after Gago assured that he had a contract with the rojiblancos and planned to fulfill it, which is why the change in decision ignited the indignation of Guadalajara fans.

The Argentine coach had a current contract with Guadalajara that expired in December and which included an exit clause, which according to the media, was around 2 million dollars.

The strategist only arrived at the rojiblanco team in January and his results were irregular. Although he led the team to the semifinals of the Liga Mx last season, he now left the team in ninth place, out of the direct league positions, with just 15 points when the twelfth date of the tournament was approaching.

What did Gago do in football? Nothing. What type of coach should Chivas have? Well, they will have to look for a really suitable one, because now being a coach is very easy, everyone plays not to lose, that’s why there are no goals and we live anti-football.Valdivia said, annoyed.

It is the second time in less than a year that Chivas has suffered the sudden departure of one of its high-profile elements. The Spanish Fernando Hierro, who held the position of sports director, also left the team just in May to sign a contract with Al Nassr of Saudi Arabia.

The blood xeneize It weighed more on this occasion for Gago, who was a Boca Junior player between 2004 and 2006. The Argentine team was left without a coach after Diego Martínez resigned due to poor results, including a defeat against its bitter rival, River Plate.

Now, the xeneizes They have opted for Gago in the midst of the controversy. Versions indicate that the helmsman knocked on the door of Boca Juniors when he saw the possibility of assuming the bench, despite the fact that he had a current contract with Chivas. Even South American media had already taken his signing for granted since last weekend, before the Guadalajara classic between Guadalajara and Atlas.

You are rubbish as a DT. Without principles and loyalty to your work. Mercenary. Remind your new team that you were on the best team in Mexicopublished the former Chivas player, Adolfo Blindness Bautista on social networks, being one of the messages that reflected the annoyance of the red and white fans.

A great lesson

It’s a shame. It must be a lesson in how that type of foreigners (Fernando Gago) who come here to profit from Mexican soccer and trample on the colors like those of Chivas cannot be allowed. It is incredible that you throw away a responsibility like this and disrespect a club with the history of Guadalajarastressed Enrique Alfaro, governor of Jalisco in another of the most controversial claims.

For now, Arturo Ortega, coach of Tapatío, Guadalajara affiliate, will lead Chivas, which already had a friendly match against the bitter rival, América, scheduled for the weekend in Houston.

Gerardo Espinoza, who won the Clausura 2023 tournament of the Expansion League with Tapatío, is the main candidate to take the reins of the rojiblancos. However, names have also appeared such as Benjamín Mora, strategist for York United in Canada, and who already had experience in the Liga Mx with Atlas.

The popularity of Chivas means that the list of candidates also includes technicians such as Robert Dante Siboldi and Nicolás Larcamón.
