André Jardine ruled himself out as a candidate for the Mexican national team by renewing his contract with América for 3 years

Brazilian coach André Jardine Apparently he ruled himself out as a candidate to lead the Mexican national team in case the leaders of Aztec football decide to break up Jaime Lozano’s project and opt for a total renewal after dthe scandalous failure of the 2024 Copa América.

Jardine, a Brazilian strategist who arrived in Mexico almost anonymously to manage Atlético San Luis, was climbing recognitions for his work with the team from Las Tunas in 54 games. from Clausura 2022 to Clausura 2023 from Sao Paulo in his country, until reaching the opportunity in América in Apertura 2023 and Clausura 2024, achieving the long-awaited second championship.

These two titles automatically put him in the field of candidates to lead the Mexican national team. in these angry times where Jaime Lozano’s lack of experience has placed the Aztec national team in a very thorny terrain.

However, this recent announcement puts Jardine outside the Mexican national team environment and after harvesting four titles in just one year, it was a matter of time, as well as push and pull in contractual matters, Finally, America offered him an extension, which he was unlikely to refuse.

It should be remembered that Jardine had the quality of being able to put the pieces in order that his predecessor, the Argentine Fernando “Tano” Ortiz, could not do, How was it to give Jonathan dos Santos the confidence in the midfield that made him go from being a starter in three games to being a permanent player? in the Eagles’ ball transfer area, as well as with the Spaniard Álvaro Fidalgo.

Obviously, all these arguments, such as giving undisputed ownership to goalkeeper Luis Malagón made it possible for América to win its 14th and 15th titles, in a two-time championship where Tigres and Cruz Azul tried to take away that honor, but were left wanting in duels full of questions about the referee’s work.

Now Jardine hopes to achieve more success between now and 2027, when his new deal will last, although we know that in football there are no written rules and it depends on the results. To honor this agreement, it should be noted that in 1994-95, the Tecos board offered a lifetime contract to coach Víctor Manuel Vucetich, after being crowned champions, but the contract lasted less than a rooster crows.

So we’ll see if this agreement is not a burden on the environment.you stop André Jardine instead of giving him a boost in his career.
