Pezzolano's crime: Fired for not qualifying for the Liguilla

The last tournament played by the ‘Tuzos’ of Pachuca ended in the worst way after consecutive years qualifying for the Liguilla, but precisely, this absence in the next round of the Tournament A 21 was the “crime” paid by the technician Paulo Pezzolano .

In the evening hours of last Monday, the Hidalgo club and the Uruguayan coach met to define their dismissal from the institution due to those poor results obtained in the last tournament of 2021. Although Pachuca announced that it was something of mutual agreement, everything indicates that the last commitments exhausted the patience of the board.

Pezzolano’s record

Paulo Pezzolano led in 69 matches, leaving a positive balance in the years he was in charge of Pachuca, where he obtained 23 victories, 22 draws and 24 defeats. Although the Uruguayan coach was able to lead the team to two leagues and one semifinal.

In addition to having a positive balance, his step also served to consolidate players such as Erick Sánchez, Luis Chávez, Kevin Álvarez, Bryan González and Roberto De la Rosa. He also helped debut 12 players from the club’s basic forces.

However, for the last tournament, things changed drastically because Pachuca left a record in the 17 days of Grítalo México, with 4 games won , 6 draws and 7 losses , leaving them with no options to qualify for the playoffs.
