Don’t wait any longer. Despite the fact that the Chivas board said that they would last until the end of the season, finally they have made the decision to dismiss Michel Leaño as coach of Chivas de Guadalajara.

The dismissal comes after days, where the ‘Sacred Flock’ only added 14 units, after having achieved three wins and tied and lost five times, results that keep him out of the playoff zone.

“After the last unfortunate results of the Clausura 2022, it has been determined that Marcelo Michel Leaño is no longer coach of Guadalajara “, reported through the official Chivas channel on YouTube.

“The results are not they were what they had worked for , the team is out of the Repechage zone and yesterday’s result was very particular, they had played well in other games, but the results did not arrive and yesterday’s forced the board to make this decision, “the report continued.

The decision comes after the comeback of Rayados de Monterrey at the Akron Stadium where the fans began to shout ‘Out Leaño

‘, accumulating in this way 4 games without being able to win in which there are important matches such as the Clásico Nacional against América (0-0) and the Clásico Tapatío against Atlas (1-1).

From 2018, 5 Technical Directors have passed through @Chivas, and all 5 have had the same result: Failure.

Isn’t it time to think, isn’t everything in the responsibility of the DT?

The Leaño thing, they could have avoided it, the rest (Cardozo, Boy, Tena, Vucetich) have been very capable DT’s.

“As of today Ricardo Cadena, current DT of Tapatío, will serve as interim coach

together with a coaching staff institutional for the remainder of the tournament”, explained the text released by the club.
