Finally, everything came to a standstill with the possible departure of the coach Argentinian Fernando Gago to Boca Juniors, by assuring for the Telemundo network this Saturday before the game against Atlas in the classic Guadalajara, that he never had any offer from the Xeneize team and that he will fulfill his contract with Chivas.

In this sense, Gago clearly stated, given the insistence of rumors of his departure from Chivas, that he has a contract with the Guadalajara club and that he hopes to fulfill it: “Without a doubt, “I have a contract with the club, I never had an offer from anyone.”

In the interview, Gago explained that no one from Boca Juniors contacted him or the people around him and that he did not know where those rumors came from: “Look, I’m going to clarify it, to be honest, I never had any offers. I did not have any calls from people close to me or in my environment.or anything, I don’t know where these things, and this information, come from.”

He was insisted on the rumors of his permanence in Chivas and whether or not Boca Juniors had contacted him: “No one contacted me, I don’t know where that information came from.”. I did not have contact with anyone, with any club and I say it here because the very strong rumor was generated and it is something that has not happened and I repeat it again, neither people contacted me, nor with people around me, no one communicated to me nothing”.

The observation was made to him that if this position rules out any offer to leave Chivas, to which he responded that: “Anything can happen in football, that is very clear, Today we lose or lose five games, it may indicate that I am no longer here, but it could be that I have been here for seven years, I always live for today, I am very clear in what I intend, and I am very clear with the club.”

“I have great communication with the board, constant communication and things are very clear, I don’t know why that rumor was established, “But it’s part of football, I understand it this way and I try to get away from what is everyday.”

In this sense, Fernando Gago also added that: “We are in a moment of very great football growth, The players feel more and more comfortable on the field, they are playing at a very good level, and it is true, perhaps the latest results have not favored us, but I think it is the way to go and we must continue to insist so that the results arrive.” .

Finally, he ruled out that the week has been troubled by so many rumors about his departure: “For me the work week was very calm, because it was the normal week and a week before, a classic where many emotions are also generated, many feelings to get to this classic match against Atlas, which is a match where everyone wants to play and where they train a little more to win. “That was the mentality we had all week.”
