Who will replace 'La Hormiga' González at Chivas?

Armando 'La Hormiga' González's departure from Chivas to join Olympiacos in Greece leaves a significant void in the team's offense.

“

Armando González left Chivas to continue his career with Olympiacos of Greece, which leaves the red-and-white squad without its best attacker of the last year and opens the door to doubt about who can take his place.

González was the team's most effective attacker over the past year. He finished the 2025-2026 season with 24 goals, securing a top scorer title and a runner-up position. His performance places him among the club's all-time leading scorers for a single season.

With a scoring title and a runner-up finish, 'La Hormiga' became the great reference in the Rebaño's offense.

With González gone, Chivas' attack now relies on Ricardo Marín and Ángel Sepúlveda. Both forwards are vying to become the primary offensive option under coach Gabriel Milito. Their performance in recent matches, where they have struggled to score in González's absence, will be closely watched.

During the 2025-2026 season, the young red-and-white player scored a total of 24 goals, placing him on the list of the club's all-time top scorers in a single football year.

The third striker position also remains open. Players from Tapatío, the club's Liga de Expansión affiliate, could be considered. Jesús Hernández, a 22-year-old forward, is a potential candidate to fill the gap left by González. Hernández recently received his first call-up to the Chivas first team for a match against Xolos de Tijuana.

In these last matches, due to Armando's lack of goals, the names that came out to score were Ricardo Marín and Ángel Sepúlveda.
