Chivas coach Milito supports 'La Hormiga' González's potential move to Greece

Chivas coach Gabriel Milito has broken his silence on the persistent rumors surrounding striker Armando 'La Hormiga' González and a potential transfer to Greek club Olympiacos. The speculation intensified after González did not feature in the Apertura 2026 match against Santos.

Milito stated his support for his players' happiness and career progression. "It is a possibility, and everything that is the happiness of players I accompany and I am in favor. The important thing are the footballers and that they are happy," Milito said after the match against Santos. He added that if the move to Greece materializes and González takes that step, he would be happy and consider it progress.

It is a possibility, and everything that is the happiness of players I accompany and I am in favor. The important thing are the footballers and that they are happy.

"My happiness, if this possibility materializes, the player accepted it and with great happiness I will accompany the decision," Milito affirmed. He acknowledged being aware of the situation but remained uncertain about the outcome, whether González stays or an offer that satisfies both the club and the player is accepted.

The coach explained his tactical decisions regarding González's playing time, noting that he preferred to start with Ricardo Marín and finish with Ángel Sepúlveda against Santos. This was to allow González peace of mind during a period of potential decision-making, as such situations can create extra anxiety and distract players. Milito emphasized that this decision was not related to the negotiations themselves but aimed to provide tranquility during the player's deliberation process. The situation remains fluid, with a decision expected in the coming week.
