A 2-0 loss to Leon ended Ignacio Ambriz’s tumultuous tenure in Club America, and now las Aguilas must face los Rayos de Necaxa on the road Tuesday night at the Estadio Victoria.
Ambriz’s firing didn’t come as much of a surprise. Throughout the 2016 Clausura, Ambriz has led the team to mixed results, and with a 3-0 defeat to Chivas in America’s centennial season, the demands of America’s fans gain ferocity. During America’s game versus Leon, fans began chant “Fuera Ambriz,” and just a few hours removed from the result, Ambriz announced his departure.
Ambriz’s departure leaves the team in a directional limbo until America’s front office hires a replacement who can deliver on the club’s expectations of glory in its centennial season.
