Chivas couldn’t accomplish the feat and were eliminated by Atlas FC in the quarterfinals of Clausura 2022 after having five straight victories and making it past Repechaje, where they had been eliminated in the past two seasons.

It’s yet to be seen what will happen with Ricardo Cadena, who was the artificer of the good streak that El Rebaño Sagrado had at the end of the regular season, helping them earn enough points to make it into the playoffs.

Although this was his first experience coaching in Liga MX, as he had been a coach in Liga de Expansión previously, Mexico’s second flight, he did a good job overall if taken into consideration that he only had seven games to establish his coaching system.

Unfortunately, what seems to be the determinant factor that will lean the scale for his departure was the inexperience that he showed in the series against Club Atlas, something that Ricardo Peláez didn’t like, which is why he’s already looking to replace Cadena.

 

Antonio Mohamed, on the top of the list

According to reports from TUDN, Ricardo Peláez interviewed five different candidates to take over the coaching role at Chivas for Apertura 2022, as he’s looking to establish a new long-term project in El Rebaño Sagrado after the bad results obtained in recent years.

Antonio Mohamed is one of the coaches that could arrive at Chivas’s dugout, as he has said during an interview with ESPN that he would like to coach El Rebaño, as long as he can build a new project, something that aligns with Peláez’s intentions.

But for that to happen, Mohamed has established one condition: he doesn’t mind having a lower salary than the one he currently has in Santos FC, only if that means having more money to acquire quality players to improve the current roster, including a new striker.

 

Who is the striker that Mohamed wants for Chivas?

The lack of goals that Chivas strikers had in Clausura 2022 is something that worries Mohamed, which is why he wants to sign Rodolfo Pizarro, who he knows from his stint in Rayados, and help him revive his career, as the Monterrey player had his highest playing level while wearing Chivas’s colors.
