Matías Almeyda Negotiates with Club América’s Management

Reports from Spanish outlet Estadio Deportivo indicate that Argentine coach Matías Almeyda is being linked to a possible move to Club América next season. Insiders say the 52-year-old could weigh at least two offers in Mexico this summer.

Sevilla departure and recent record

Almeyda was dismissed from Sevilla after one LaLiga campaign. He managed 32 official matches: 29 in the league and three in the Copa del Rey.

Sevilla finished just three points clear of the relegation zone. His contract had run to 2028, but the club opted for an early exit.

Past success in Mexico and abroad

He previously coached Chivas Guadalajara from 2015 to 2018. At Chivas he won a Liga MX title, two Copa MX trophies, and a Supercopa.

Almeyda also has international experience. He led San Jose Earthquakes in MLS and managed AEK Athens to back-to-back league titles and a domestic cup.

Possible role at Club América

Filmogaz.com has learned that Club América is reportedly in talks with his agent. The discussions center on replacing current coach André Jardine.

Matías Almeyda Negotiates with Club América’s Management, according to the latest accounts. The discussions are described as exploratory at this stage.

Jardine, a Brazilian coach, won three consecutive titles with the Águilas. Still, the team is underperforming this season.

América sits sixth in the overall standings. New signings have not fully integrated, raising concerns about progress in league and continental competitions.

Why Almeyda is being considered

Club leaders value his work with young Mexican players from club academies. They also note his varied club experience in different leagues.

Those qualities make him a logical Plan B if the team fails to contend for domestic or CONCACAF honors.

Monterrey talks on hold

Another reported option for Almeyda was Monterrey. Sources say negotiations with the Rayados paused recently.

The Monterrey board reportedly wants to appoint a new sporting president first. That person would replace José Antonio “Tato” Noriega, who faces criticism over transfer spending and limited success.

For now, the situation remains fluid. Clubs, agents, and Almeyda himself continue assessing options ahead of the summer window.
