Tano Ortiz would be ratified as coach at Club América and would ask for the departure of these two players

Fernando Ortíz achieved the unthinkable a little over a month ago. He took over, on an interim basis, an América in crisis and in last place in the overall standings to take them directly into the playoffs and qualify them for the semifinals.

This achievement was not indifferent to the Azulcrema board of directors, who, although they have not had any talks to keep Tano as interim coach, have let him know their desire for the next semester, so they know he will no longer be the interim coach.

According to ‘Águilas Monumental’, it was confirmed that Fernando Ortiz will definitely stay on as head coach of Los Millonetas and at the end of the tournament, they will sit down to discuss the contractual terms to formalize an agreement that is already in place.

Ortiz's numbers with América endorse him. Eleven games under his management, seven wins, three draws, and one loss, which, added to the club's current situation, earned him the backing of the club's directors and allowed him to be proclaimed the official manager of the institution.

With all that comes with being the head coach of a team like América, El Tano will have more power to decide certain aspects of the squad, among them, the players he wants and does not want for the next tournament, which is why depending on the minutes he has given to the different players, it is likely that he no longer wants to count on these elements.

Which players would Ortiz no longer count on?

Jonathan Dos Santos

Since the arrival of Tano Ortiz, the former LA Galaxy player continued without activity, since under the orders of Santiago Solari, Jonathan Dos Santos was already relegated to the bench. However, with the arrival of Fernando, Giovanni's brother had the opportunity to prove himself again, but he continued at a low level and players like Richard Sanchez and Fidalgo were above him.

Jonathan has only played 182 minutes in 12 matches that the Paraguayan has managed, which is barely two complete matches if we add together the minutes that were divided in a total of twelve. Although Jona arrived as a quality signing he has not shown it and could be sold to another club.

Jorge Meré

The Spanish Jorge Meré has lived a similar situation with Ortiz, since the arrival of the Paraguayan, the former Koln defender has had almost no participation. Unlike Jonathan Dos Santos, Meré did have more minutes with Santiago Solari and occupied a place as a starter, but when the Argentinean was dismissed, his role became a substitute and he had almost no minutes.

He has spent 7 games on the bench without playing a single minute and another 3 in which he came on as a substitute and only in two he started with Fernando Ortiz. If the former Spain youth international does not improve, he could also be on the exit ramp.
