Fernando Ortiz could be fired from Club América after the embarrassment suffered by the team against Pachuca. They still have clear options to win the championship, what they don't like is the game system and the managers are looking for a new coach.

One of the names that have been close to Mexico is Marcelo Bielsa, an Argentine coach who ended his contract with Leeds in the Premier League and has remained a free agent ever since. One of Bielsa's advantages is that he already knows America, which he managed in the 1993-94 season.

If Fernando Ortiz does not transcend in America, his departure from the club is inevitable, since his contract ends in June of this year. Marcelo Bielsa was on the radar of the Mexican team, and although they offered him a more administrative position, El Loco, as he is nicknamed, prefers to be in the technical direction.

The Argentine coach Marcelo Bielsa in his last stage as coach with Leeds United earned 10.8 million dollars, as Infobae was able to confirm. If the cream-blue team wants to hire the coach, they must negotiate a salary in accordance with the MX League and that is beneficial for the strategist who also had time at Atlas, where he had Rafael Márquez in his ranks.

Would Emilio Azcárraga look for Marcelo Bielsa?

No one doubts Marcelo Bielsa's talent as a coach and as a player trainer, but his high salary rate makes him almost unattainable. The coach of America who has earned the most is Miguel Herrera, who earned around 3 million dollars a year.
