André Jardine resigned from the Club América bench after the Clausura 2026, and the club now faces an internal leadership crisis that several voices link to Ferran Reverter, whose arrival in March is being framed as central to recent decisions.
Telemundo reported on Friday, June 5, 2026 that Jardine left the club and that he used a press conference to thank the institution, telling those present, "Me sentí siempre respetado." That public farewell has crystallized attention on who is steering changes at the top of a team already unsettled by reports that Santiago Baños may also be leaving.
Reverter was announced by Club América in March 2026. The club’s statement at the time said his hiring was meant to support a push toward professionalization and to strengthen the organization’s corporate identity. Since Jardine’s resignation, sources and voices around the club say Reverter may have played a relevant role in the decisions that followed the season’s end.
Analysts tracking the situation have suggested Reverter’s profile and remit are behind a broader review of leadership and internal structures inside the club — a review that, if true, moves the change beyond a simple coaching exit into an institutional reshuffle. Those assessments point to an active management strategy rather than a routine coaching turnover.
What is undisputed in the public record is limited. Jardine’s departure has been communicated in press accounts and his own brief on‑camera remarks; the reporting places Reverter at the center of conversations among owners, executives and outside observers. Beyond that, the club’s directiva has not formally confirmed the reported departures or detailed Reverter’s exact role in any personnel moves.
The lack of an official statement is the clearest friction in the coverage. Reports connect Reverter to major decisions, but the directiva has not clarified whether he recommended, approved or implemented the actions that led to Jardine’s resignation or the reported exit of Baños. That gap leaves a wide range of possible explanations — from a top‑down restructuring to independent choices by the sporting and technical staff.
Immediate consequences are already visible on the ground: a vacant coaching post and the prospect of a reworked executive layer at one of Mexico’s most prominent clubs. For supporters and potential hires, the uncertainty creates an atypical summer planning window — transfer targets, backroom hires and the identity of the next head coach will all be evaluated under the assumption that the club’s leadership map could change materially.
Club América’s March description of Reverter’s role — focused on professionalization and corporate identity — provides a plausible institutional rationale for a review of structures. Still, the sequence of Jardine’s resignation after the Clausura 2026 and the subsequent circulation of Baños’ potential departure have sharpened attention on who inside the directiva holds decision-making power now.
The crucial unanswered question is straightforward and consequential: what specific decision or action by Ferran Reverter, if any, prompted Jardine’s resignation and the reports about Baños? Until the directiva clarifies Reverter’s remit or issues a formal announcement about the personnel changes, that question will determine whether observers read recent events as an intended overhaul or a contested moment of internal turbulence.
