Chivas Guadalajara finally has a coach. The team has already appointed the Spanish Serbian Veljko Paunovic as its new coach for the Clausura 2022. The decision comes after an incessant search by the new sporting director Fernando Hierro, to find a coach who can give the club what it needs.

In that sense, Paunovic is positioned as an ideal candidate and aligned with the club's philosophy. Although he is not as well known, he is a coach who works extremely well with young players and has been in charge of Reading in England and Chicago Fire in Major League Soccer.

However, according to ESPN, the big problem Paunovic will have at the beginning is that he has difficulties with the Spanish language at the moment, despite having coached a few times in Spain. He has become accustomed to English and will have to practice his Spanish in order for the team to understand his tactical ideas and philosophy perfectly.

Why did Fernando Hierro choose Paunovic?

The new sporting director of Chivas assured in his presentation that the Guadalajara team wanted a profile that was hard-working, that knew how to guide young players and that aligned with the philosophy of the club, in addition, that had first level European experience. In that sense, Paunovic would fulfill all the roles.
