After Las Aguilas failed to qualify for the postseason, "El Bigoton" announced his departure from the club Sunday.
The Ricardo La Volpe era at Club America has come to a close, the veteran coach announced Sunday.
It was the 65-year-old's second stint with Las Aguilas after coaching the club 20 years before in 1996. While his initial goal was accomplished, helping the club reach the playoffs in its 100th anniversary after it parted ways with struggling coach Ignacio "Nacho" Ambriz, he fell well short of expectations in the Clausura.
La Volpe helped America get into the league final and finish fourth in the Club World Cup, but this tournament was unable to match his previous feats after an offseason that saw several key players head for the exits.
