The six defeats recorded in the current Clausura 2024 tournament caused the Puebla board of directors to fired Mexican coach Ricardo Carbajal who, despite his efforts, could not replicate the numbers of the previous Apertura 2023 championship that allowed the Puebla team to qualify for the league where they were eliminated in the quarterfinals with the Tigres de la UANL With which there are only three Mexican coaches left with the recent incorporation of Ignacio Ambriz at the helm of Santos Laguna, replacing the Uruguayan Pablo Repetto.
Now due to different factors, but above all the departure of some key players such as the scorer Guillermo Martínez who was traded to the UNAM Pumas, which represented 10 goals for the Puebla team in 15 games in the previous campaign.
The impact of Martínez’s departure affected the Puebla eleven so much that they could not find the generation of offensive play as demonstrated by the few six goals they have registered in the current competition.
Carbajal leaves Puebla mired in penultimate place with just four points, the product of a victory and a draw, just above the two points that FC Juárez has, which occupies the last place.
But the explanation for his poor performance in the eight games is six goals scored for nineteen conceded, which led to his dismissal.
Carbajal in total directed 22 games in the Apertura 2023 and Clausura 2024 tournaments, where he won eight games, drew five and lost nine games.
There are only three Mexican technicians left
In this way, there are only three Mexican coaches left with work in the Clausura 2024 tournament, such as Eduardo Fentanes, who is doing a great job with Necaxa, and Miguel Herrera, who against all odds remains at the head of the Xolos, as well as Ignacio Ambriz who recently took command of Santos Laguna.
So far, the Mexicans Diego Mejía with FC Juárez and Ricardo Carbajal with Puebla have lost their jobs, as well as the Uruguayan Pablo Repetto with Santos Laguna and where the Brazilian Mauricio Nogueira has trained in relief in the border team, and in Puebla the Venezuelan Fernando Fernando Aresteguieta and with Santos Laguna, as we already said, the Mexican Ignacio Ambriz.
Fentanes is in sixth place in the general table, tied on the same 15 points as the champion América and the UNAM Pumas with three wins, six draws and zero victories, where together with Monterrey they are the only two teams that remain unbeatable. in the competition.
While Miguel Herrera has gone against the current and barely has four points as a result of four draws, three defeats and no victory.
So unlike Fentanes, the dog squad’s coach Miguel Herrera is on the scaffold and the sword of Damocles hangs over his head.
Finally, Ignacio Ambriz adds a defeat so far in his recent work with Santos Laguna when he faced Toluca on the early date nine where they lost 1-0 with a goal scored from a penalty by the Brazilian goalkeeper of the Red Devils Tiago Volpi.
