Diego Alonso would arrive to this Liga MX team after leaving Inter Miami

Inter Miami has shocked MLS when the team got rid of Uruguayan coach Diego Alonso, replacing him with former Manchester United defender Phil Neville, who started his first spell coaching a male soccer team. But not everything is lost for Alonso.

Alonso started his career as a soccer player in his native Uruguay, netting an extraordinary 0.62 goal average for his club Bella Vista from 1992 to 1999, in which his career took off after an impressive season for Argentina’s Gimnasia y Esgrima, from La Plata city. That was in 2020 the last club coached by Diego Maradona. The best years for Alonso came in the Spanish La Liga playing until 2004 in Valencia, Atlético de Madrid, Racing Santander and Murcia.

Then, as a coach, he went back to the roots and started in Bella Vista, but his highlight was his spell in Liga MX’s Pachuca from 2014 to 2018, winning the Concacaf Champions League in 2017, and repeating with Monterrey in 2019, despite Antonio Mohamed took his position in the World Club Cup. Mexico's top division could welcome him once again.

As reported by Mexico’s newspaper El Universal, Chivas de Guadalajara’s Sporting director Ricardo Peláez wants Alonso as the new coach, to replace Victor Vucetich. For that, he has allegedly started talking to the club’s owner Amaury Vergara.
