Guillermo Almada was the leader who took over as head coach of Cruz Azul. In a sudden turn of events, however, the management of the Sky Blues decided to stop haunting the Uruguayan strategist and on to candidates to fill the position for the coming League MX season.
According to Transfer-Market expert César Luis Merlo Mero, Cruz Azul chose to end their urge to Almada to prevent possible disputes with Pachuca's management. Despite this decision, the club remains active in its search for a new head coach via other roads.
Although the Uruguayan coach had the most support within Cruz Azul, the club finally decided not to continue with him, because they wanted to avoid conflicts with the Tuzos.
Cruz Azul has Milito in mind
One of the leading candidates for the position is Matías Almeyda, but the Argentinian coach has no immediate plans to return to Mexican football. In fact, Monterrey had also chased Almeyda before he finally appointed Domenec Torrent.
In the meantime, the sports director of Cruz Azul, Iván Alonso, Gabriel Milito has under his top choices for the role. The club's management continues to evaluate several candidates and ensure that they find the right fit for the coming season. For the time being, Almada is expected to stay with Pachuca, where he will lead the team in the club World Cup.
Sánchez to supervise the final
Vicente Sánchez will coach Cruz Azul in the figure final against the Whitecaps of Vancouver before leaving the team.
According to journalist César Caballero, Sánchez asked immediate bonus payments from the club to complete his term of office – whether or not a championship for La Máquina.
