After losing at home to Morelia 2-1, Pumas parted ways with coach Francisco Palencia, who becomes the first coached fired this season. While Pumas record wasn't the worst, the results deceived, as Pumas hadn't played well in any game so far. It also came after terrible second season for him, which had the team fail to make it into the Liguilla with rumored internal strife that might have led to the departure of Dario Veron and goalkeeper Marco Antonio Palacios. The fact Pumas had made a key signing in Chilean international Marcelo Diaz, might have made the leash shorter and the loss against Morelia, as well as the increasing complaints from Pumas fans, led to his firing today.
