After the Ricardo Ferretti era, Robert Dante Siboldi was the coach who was able to return the UANL Tigres to glory. The feline team once again competed for trophies with the help of the Uruguayan. However, the veteran South American strategist He would not have much time left on his contract and his financial demands are not cooperating.
Robert Dante Siboldi managed to give stability to the feline group. The Uruguayan’s work has been very prominent in the Mexican institution and The board would have no problems keeping him in charge of the bench.
However, in the middle the economic expectations of the South American coach would have crossed. According to information from RG la Deportiva, Siboldi would accept a contractual renewal, but under a figure similar to that managed by Ricardo Ferretti.
“It seems like too much to the board, because at the time, Tuca was quoted very high for what it earned“said journalist Víctor Manuel Hernández. In this sense, The conflict of interest begins between the desire of the coach and the firmness of the club’s board.
How much did Ricardo Ferretti earn?
The “Tuca” is an emblem within the feline institution. The Brazilian strategist won multiple trophies on the bench of Tigres de la UANL. This allowed the South American to perceive $3 million dollars annually to take charge of the technical direction of the club.
However, the footprint of the “Tuca”, until now, It is still much larger than Siboldi’s. In this sense, Ferretti’s salary was proportional to his achievements on the team: 5 Liga MX, 3 Champion of Champions, 1 Concachampions, 1 Copa MX and a runner-up in the Club World Cup.
For his part, Robert Dante Siboldi has directed the UANL Tigres during 51 matches. The Uruguayan’s records are not bad: 27 wins, 15 draws and only 9 losses. However, his private display case is still very small, Well, he has only achieved one Liga MX (Clausura 2023).
It is evident that the dimensions are totally different. Ricardo Ferretti directed more than 550 matches within the feline institution. This is what the club’s board would rely on to deny the Uruguayan strategist’s financial request. However, This would generate a conflict of interest and uncertainty about the club’s bench for the next campaign.
