Gignac Cuts Ties With Tigres Board Over Farewell Plans

Tigres' legendary striker, André-Pierre Gignac, has apparently decided to take a break from communication with the club's board. This decision stems from his disagreement with the team's plans for his farewell, which he feels is premature. The 40-year-old forward, who is the club's all-time leading scorer, reportedly wishes to continue his playing career, either with Tigres or elsewhere, and is not in agreement with the club's stated intention that this season will be his last.

“

Estoy en posición de confirmarles que Gignac aún no le ha respondido la oferta que le hizo la directiva de Tigres, Gignac ya dejó de hablar con los dirigentes de Tigres, ya cortó toda comunicación con ellos, él fue muy claro, les dijo que toda la comunicación sería con su agente, su manager, su promotor Jean-Christophe Cano

According to reports, Gignac has also rejected an offer from the club to take on a directorial position alongside Gerardo Torrado. Instead, he has made it clear that all future communication should be directed through his agent. This stance highlights a significant disconnect between the player's desires and the club's vision for his future.

“

Él ha sido muy claro que quiere seguir jugando futbol, quiere seguir siendo futbolista, con Tigres o en otro lado, él no está de acuerdo con el festejo, con la despedida, ni con los dirigentes, ni que le hayan ofrecido ser asistente de Torrado; él quiere seguir jugando, cobrando su dinero año a año hasta que decida retirarse.

While the club management has reiterated that Gignac's current season is his final one, they have also stated that they are open to him working in an official capacity if he chooses to accept their offer. The situation leaves fans in suspense about the future of their beloved star, who has become an icon for the Tigres.

“

La directiva ha sido muy clara que este fue su último año, si quiere venir a la oficina a trabajar, adelante, pero ya cortó toda comunicación con los dirigentes de Tigres
