The coach that will finally replace Marcelo Michel Leaño in Chivas

It’s no lie to say that Chivas haven’t been able to become a team that contends in Liga MX since Amaury Vergara took over in 2019. But things have gone south when Marcelo Michel Leaño became El Rebaño’s coach during Apertura 2021.

So far, El Rebaño has won three games, has tied three more and has lost the remainder four in Clausura 2022, but it became evident that Michel Leaño doesn’t have a solid project to follow long-term, as they couldn’t beat Club América in the Clásico Nacional, even if Las Águilas are going through the worst crisis they’ve been in years.

After the game, Chivas followers started chanting “Fuera Leaño”, which incremented the pressure placed on both the Mexican coach and Chivas owner, which could mean the end of Michel Leaño’s stint as El Rebaño’s coach if they don’t manage to win the Clásico Tapatío.

Chivas will visit Atlas this weekend in what will be one of the toughest games of the season for them, given that Atlas not only are the current Liga MX champions but are contending to win this year’s title again, and if Los Zorros win, they could put an end to Michel Leaño’s stint in Chivas.

Who could replace Michel Leaño?

According to the report of W Deportes, Amaury Vergara is aware of the possibility of a new defeat for El Rebaño, which is why he already started looking for a potential replacement for Marcelo Michel Leaño, someone that is not afraid to take on the challenge.

Vergara is looking for a coach that is not afraid of taking a team amidst of a crisis and help them gain stability and regularity, but also that is experienced enough to establish a solid project, something that Marcelo Michel Leaño hasn’t been able to do.

That’s why he’s considering replacing Michel Leaño with Javier Aguirre, who recently became a free agent after his stint with CF Monterrey, where “El Vasco” didn’t have a good performance, although that doesn’t erase the fact that he’s one of Mexico’s most experienced coaches.

Can Javier Aguirre arrive in Chivas?

“El Vasco” Aguirre hasn’t showed signs of wanting to retire from coaching, and given that he currently is without a job, he could accept replacing Michel Leaño, as he knows how Liga MX currently works and has coached a team full of Mexicans in the past.
