In the Eagles of America, optimism and security have breathed in recent times. Despite staying at the gates of playing the final of the Opening Tournament 2022, the azulcremas believe in the project of Fernando ‘Tano’ Ortiz in the technical direction.

That faith and trust in Tano contrasts with the unease and bad atmosphere that existed in Coapa during Santiago Solari’s stage as coach . The Argentine also left the team in the Clausura 2022 in the last places of the table , without form and spirit; It was even stated that his way of working was ‘toxic’ and for this reason the bulk of the players on the squad rejected him.
