MEXICO – Following the resignation of Fernando Ortiz as America’s coach, the Azulcrema team is considering among its main candidates André Jardine, Atlético de San Luis’ current tactician.
Sources in both US Environment and Potosi confirmed to ESPN that Brazil is preferred by the Águilas board of directors, chaired by Santiago Baños.
However, the same sources assured that the strongest option for a place in the Copa squad is former Uruguay coach Diego Alonso.

The Brazilian liked the Azulcrema board for the style of play he displayed in the quarter-final duel, which is why Santiago Baños included him in his list of prospects to replace ‘Taino’ Ortiz.
The Atlético de San Luis board shielded the strategist with a clause. The Brazilian has one year left on his contract with the San Luis Institute, with whom he has already won two instances of quarter-finals.
Jardín has become the most effective strategist in charge of the Las Tunas franchise since their promotion to the First Division in 2019. Another achievement is that under the command of the South American, Atlético de San Luis managed to score the highest number of points in local quality.
