Tigres UANL continues its search for a new coach after Guido Pizarro's departure, and at the moment two names are the ones that take the lead to occupy the Tigres bench: Óscar Pareja and Guillermo Barros Schelotto. Both strategists are the most advanced options within the process carried out by the blue and gold board, which analyzes the profiles to choose the coach who will take charge of the team in this complicated moment of the season.
The intention of Tigres is that the decision can be defined during the next week, so the announcement of the new coach could be made in the following days, once the agreement with the chosen candidate is confirmed. The board seeks that the new strategist can be incorporated as soon as possible to start working with the team and get to know the team's needs firsthand, which recently got eliminated from the Leagues Cup.
The goal is that the new coach can even be on the bench for Tigres' next commitment against Atlas, so the times will be important to close the negotiation and make their presentation immediately. For now, Pareja and Barros Schelotto are the names that maintain the most strength in the running to direct Tigres, while the board accelerates the negotiations to have defined its new coach next week.
Currently, Tigres UANL is in 16th position in the Liga MX table, with 1 point, 0 wins, 1 draw and 2 losses in 3 games, and with a -3 goal difference. The team is also 6 points behind the leaders Club America in the Liga MX table. In their last game, Tigres UANL suffered a 2-0 defeat against Guadalajara Chivas on May 10, 2026. In their next commitment, Tigres UANL will face Atlas in a Liga MX game on August 16, 2026.
