The 2024 Apertura Tournament has already passed the halfway point of the regular season, and Chivas has yet to secure a spot in the Final Phase. Now, the team is left without a head coach after Fernando Gago's departure was made official.

The Argentine strategist, after denying interest from Boca Juniors, ended his tenure as coach and left the team in ninth place in the overall standings.

In light of this situation, the team’s biggest figure, Javier 'Chicharito' Hernández, a historic player, stepped up and sent a message to the fans through his social media.

Chicharito's Message

Gago's surprising departure has sparked several negative reactions, though Javier Hernández tried to calm the situation.

'We need to be more united than ever, Chivahermanos,' he said, adding, 'This is a tough moment, but if we decide to, it will only make us stronger,' were his words on his Instagram account.

Who will be Chivas’ new coach?

Arturo Ortega, the coach of Tapatío, will take charge of the first team, knowing that they face a Clásico against América in Houston, which will be held next Sunday, October 13, during the FIFA international break.
