Benjamín Mora stopped being the coach of the Atlas, a fact that the institution confirmed a few days ago through its X account (formerly Twitter). Atlas is not at its best and is located in box number 13 after six defeats.

“El Malayo” as Benjamín Mora is also known, had been having an irregular season and according to information from the Mexican press, the directors of the Academy were already fed up, so they decided to make the decision.
