Nahuel Guzmán has stated his intention to renew his contract with Tigres UANL when his current deal expires. The 40-year-old Argentine goalkeeper said his continued stay at the club will depend on his performance and what he can still contribute to the team.
Guzmán, who joined Tigres in 2014, is the oldest player in the first-team squad and his contract runs until June 2027. "Yes, obviously. First, fulfill it, first fulfill it." the goalkeeper explained. He added, "And I still feel competitive, I still feel relevant."
His comments come amid a difficult start to the Apertura 2026 season for the feline team. Tigres UANL sit in 16th place in the standings, with just seven points from nine matches played. Their record is one win, four draws, and four losses, with a goal difference of -4. The recent 1-0 win over Puebla on September 27th broke a four-game winless run, but the team remains twelve points behind leaders Toluca.
The arrival of Víctor Manuel Vucetich as head coach has marked a new direction. Guzmán acknowledged that the appointment of the former Rayados manager initially seemed strange, but he praised the professionalism shown by Vucetich, his technical staff, and the players. The goalkeeper also addressed fan complaints about poor results, seeing them as a reflection of the ambition built by the club in recent years. According to Guzmán, that expectation requires everyone to be good in both good and bad times, and he denied the current situation constitutes a crisis, recalling past difficult periods.
With a Tigres career that includes five league titles, four Campeón de Campeones trophies, two Campeones Cup titles, and one Concacaf Champions Cup, Guzmán is considered the best goalkeeper in the club's history. His immediate future is tied to his ability to remain a competitive pillar. The next challenge for him and the team is hosting league leaders Toluca at the Estadio Universitario on October 10th, a key match already listed in our fixtures schedule.
