The scolding of Emilio Azcarraga to the coach Miguel Herrera and his dismissal is filtered

Club América fired coach Miguel Herrera on Monday a few days after being eliminated in the semifinals of the Concacaf Champions League against LAFC. The owner of the Mexican team expressed in a statement that the results that have been obtained in sports and attitudes on the field do not meet the greatness of the institution, so it has been decided to terminate the employment relationship with Miguel Herrera, already that does not conform to the sports and administrative plan that the club has set.

Miguel Herrera led Club America to the title of the Clausura 2013 and made them champions again in the Apertura 2018, which made the institution the most winner of league championships with 13. In the quarterfinal phase of the Apertura 2020, the club América suffered its strongest blow in recent times when it was eliminated by its closest rival Chivas de Guadalajara and then were eliminated in the semifinals of the Concacaf Champions League by Los Angeles FC.

The managers could not bear the failures of this year and especially the new indiscipline that Miguel Herrera had in Concachampions. The decision was made solely by the team owner Emilio Azcárraga, who is very upset by the team's performance this year. Mr. Azcárraga had already warned coach Miguel Herrera about the issue of indiscipline and when he did not comply with the treatment he had; he was fired.

Santiago Baños, sports director, was not consulted to make this decision, which leaves him very badly placed in the team. The club's statement clarifies that the coach's dismissal is due to attitudes on the pitch after the incident that occurred in the game against LAFC, when the coach once again disregarded the orders regarding discipline as Club América's main value, he saw the consequences reflected with his separation from the club.
