Tigres UANL has officially confirmed the resignation of Guido Pizarro as head coach, just two matchdays into the 2026 Apertura season. The Argentine, a former club player, stepped down after a difficult start to the campaign, with the team earning just 1 point from a possible 6.
Why did Pizarro leave?
Pizarro took over as Tigres manager in March 2025 after retiring as a player. However, recent results-including the 2-2 draw against Atlético de San Luis on July 26, 2026-appeared to hasten his departure. The team currently sits 15th in Liga MX, with 0 wins, 1 draw, and 1 loss in their first two games, scoring 3 goals and conceding 5.
What’s next for Tigres UANL?
No replacement has been confirmed yet. The club, under pressure due to their poor start, must act quickly before their next match, away to Club Querétaro on August 1, 2026. The Felines are 5 points behind leaders Club Tijuana and need to turn things around to avoid falling further behind.
How does this impact the squad?
Pizarro, a club legend as a player, bid farewell to several team members before officially leaving. His short tenure as manager raised more questions than answers, especially after a season start with recent form DL (loss and draw). The Tigres board must now move swiftly to stabilize the project.
