Fernando Gago is one step away from becoming the new coach of Las Chivas de Guadalajara, Mexico, after having verbally agreed with the entity’s sports director, the Spanish Fernando Hierro.
Gago, 37 years old and former coach of Aldosivi de Mar del Plata and Racing Club, had another proposal from Cruzeiro of Brazil, but the call of Hierro, his former teammate during his time as a footballer at Real Madrid, made him opt for Chivas de Guadalajara. .
The Mexican team, the most important in the country after América, has yet to close the separation of its current coach, the Serbian Velijo Paunovic, and once his departure is finalized, Gago will be announced, according to the Mexican newspaper Medio Tiempo.
Gago was very close to being Cruzeiro’s coach but he did not agree because the Belo Horizonte club did not accept the number of assistants he wanted to accompany him, which was two assistants, a physical trainer and two video analysts, the same coaching staff he had in Racing.
Gago, 38, won two titles with Racing, the Argentine League Champions trophy and the International Super Cup, and with Chivas in 2024 he would face double competition between the Clausura 2024 and the Concacahampions.
