Club América has announced the end of André Jardine's highly successful tenure as head coach. The Brazilian's departure, effective immediately, comes after a period of significant achievement for the Mexico City club. Jardine, who joined in August 2023, is credited with leading América to six titles, including three Liga MX championships, a Campeones de Campeones, a Supercopa MX, and a Campeones Cup. This run solidifies his status as the club's most successful coach in terms of trophies won. Despite this success, the club stated that mutual agreement was reached to end his contract due to a failure to align on future plans. The team was reportedly preparing for the upcoming Apertura 2026 season, with players scheduled to return on June 8. The club's statement expressed gratitude for Jardine's dedication and work, acknowledging his indelible mark on América's history as Mexico's most winning team. Speculation is already mounting regarding his successor, with Uruguayan Guillermo Almada reportedly being a leading candidate.
