Club América cut ties with coach André Jardine after a record‑breaking run that saw the team capture six titles in three seasons. Jardine’s contract ran through 2027, but the club said it was time for a change. His departure comes after a streak that has stunned Mexican football and rewritten the club's legacy for years.

Jardine guided América to three consecutive Liga MX titles – Apertura 2023, Clausura 2024, and Apertura 2024 – and then added the 2024 Campeón de Campeones, Supercopa MX and the Campeones Cup. The coach also steered Brazil to Olympic gold in Tokyo 2020, underscoring his international pedigree and solidified his status as a tactical master.

The club released a statement praising Jardine as its most successful head coach, noting his permanent mark on América’s history. It thanked him for “commitment and hard work” and for building a legacy that fans will remember for years. The announcement signals a new era for the club’s future campaigns in the season ahead.

Guillermo Almada, former Pachuca and Real Oviedo manager, is the front‑runner to replace Jardine, sources say. Almada arrived at América after succeeding in Mexico and bringing a coaching style that blends tactical discipline with player development. His appointment could reshape the team's approach as it seeks to defend its championship haul and maintain its domination.
