Breaking News: Fernando Gago Returns to Liga MX Amid Coaching Chaos
Everything is possible in football—and nowhere more so than in Mexico. The unpredictable nature of Liga MX has once again delivered a bombshell: the controversial Argentine coach Fernando Gago is back. He has taken the reins at Necaxa, leaving a trail of surprise and intrigue as the league continues to see tumultuous changes in its coaching staff.
Gago’s Shock Return
Just as recently announced, Gago’s departure from Chivas was promptly followed by his emergence at Necaxa, signaling an unexpected return to Mexican football just as the club prepares for the 2024 Apertura season. Necaxa’s decision comes amidst an ongoing intricate web of coaching changes, with clubs like Tigres, América, and Cruz Azul witnessing significant shifts.
The Coaching carousel in Focus
Recent weeks have seen other major shifts as well. The Revelation team of the Clausura 2025, Tigres, was ousted from the quarterfinals after a controversial decision by referee Marco Antonio Ortiz. This elimination brought considerable stress to manager Nicolás Larcamón, who had been poised to lead the team further. Add to this, the tense relationship between Cruz Azul’s sports president Iván Alonso and interim coach Vicente Sánchez, who, despite guiding the club to a Concacaf Champions Cup title, was let go for not meeting the expectations of the leadership.
Almada’s Implausible Ascension
Guillermo Almada had ostensibly emerged as a suitable replacement for Sánchez at Cruz Azul, but legal issues tied to his termination clause complicated the move, ultimately paving the way for Larcamón as Cruz Azul’s backup plan. Simultaneously, Necaxa, in a state of flux without a head coach and buoyed by a documentary featuring their ownership group Tyles-Porter, which includes Eva Longoria, Ryan Reynolds, and Mesut Özil, found their options limited, eventually turning to Gago.
Controversy Plagues Mexican Football
The dynamic shifts in coaching roles come against the backdrop of the ongoing FIFA United States Club Cup 2025, with teams(temp) grappling with critical decisions impacting their rosters and strategies. Meanwhile, the noted tension and conflict within clubs hint at deeper structural challenges within Mexican football governance.
Impact and Future Implications
The return of Fernando Gago not only reverberates throughout Liga MX but also spike interest in how the league’s most controversial figures will influence its trajectory. While some see these coaching changes as disruptive, others view them as opportunities for growth. As we move into this new season, there is a renewed urgency for stability—both for teams and fans alike. How Mexican football addresses these challenges will shape its future and its relevance in global football discourse.
