André Jardine Exits Club América for Clausura 2026

The Liga BBVA MX is set to kick off the Clausura 2026 tournament. In the opening match, Club América will face Xolos de Tijuana at the Estadio Caliente. However, the team is facing significant challenges as they enter the season.

André Jardine’s Absence

Head coach André Jardine will not be present on the sidelines for this crucial match. His absence results from a disciplinary issue that arose during the Liguilla of the Apertura 2025 tournament. Jardine was expelled in the fourth round against Monterrey due to a violation classified under “Causal 5,” which prohibits coaches from entering the pitch to confront referees or interfere with the game.

Injuries and Team Challenges

Compounding Club América’s difficulties, key player Henry Martín is unavailable due to injury. Reports indicate that several other players, including Alejandro Zendejas, Isaías Violante, and Erick Sánchez, are also sidelined. This presents a daunting task for the team as they attempt to secure a strong start in the new season.
