He finished the longest semester he ever lived André Jardine in it Americaexhausting to the extreme, an accumulation of circumstances on and off the field that he had not experienced since arriving at the Nest. And so, he was one penalty away from making a comeback that seemed impossible against the super leader and getting into the Semis.

Andre and his coaching staff, and the squad, will have a necessary vacation period to recharge their energy. I know first-hand that he was very hurt by the elimination, and I also know that he has a clear conscience because he feels that he managed to get the best out of his Eagles at the decisive moment. He is tired, sad, but proud of the job. And he knows he can still move this team.

At the time of leaving for the break, there were farewells in El Nido and a short talk with the board: they will meet again in Coapa to talk about the future. Jardine has a contract for another year and from what I’m told, he still believes he can make this America fight for titles.

And the sports management has already made the decision: if it depends on them, Jardine will stay to fulfill his contract, that is, it has been decided from his trenches that Andre He will continue with America.

Both parties need to sit down again to make it clear. And in this new talk, there is a new factor that could change the course of his permanence: the new board of directors of the club and the Azteca Stadium, the one who directs Ferran Reverterwhich already has a voice and vote.

Only this brand new component could change the trend and propose to Emilio Azcarraga take a step back from the bench. That’s why they have other candidates.

Jardine’s relationship with the club is genuine love for colors, they know it in Coapa and the fans. Therefore, for the coach it is important to listen to what the new people who today help make decisions think about the future of America. That alone could make him leave.

The return of an Atlantean icon took place: Federico Vilar He will be Piojo Herrera’s assistant in his return to Liga MX. The idea with the champion goalkeeper with El Potro is for him to become an institutional Barça coach for the future. Tremendous plan.

For months the noise has been increasing and yesterday he took a key step: Televisa acquired the rights to the Libertadores and South America for the United States starting in 2027, and for it to be profitable, it needs Mexican soccer to return. It is the great news that was expected.

Within the framework of the 2022 World Cup, the FMF, Televisa and Conmebol began to draw up the plan for the return of Mexican soccer to the South American tournaments, but Concacaf needed to be convinced by giving more spaces to its teams, which was already agreed, and for the television station to enter the game, a situation that was achieved.

Now all that remains is to arrange the dates, but with the MLS Already adjusted to the Mexican and European calendar, the South American tournaments will become like the Champions League. And with that, there is wind in our sails so that the return to Libertadores is achieved between 2027 and 2028
