Tigres UANL finds itself at a crossroads following the recent departure of Veljko Paunovic, who had a brief yet tumultuous tenure at the club. Paunovic, former coach of Chivas, was appointed head coach of Tigres at a critical time, but his time with the team ended abruptly after a match against Necaxa in March 2025. During his tenure, the club failed to achieve the expected results, leading to his dismissal. The situation is further complicated as Paunovic has been linked with the Serbian national team, which is preparing for the 2030 World Cup. In a recent friendly, Serbia suffered a heavy defeat to Mexico, raising questions about the coach's future. Roberto Alvarado and Raúl Rangel, former Tigres players, showed their support for Paunovic before the match, reminiscing about their time together at the club. With Paunovic's exit, Tigres UANL will need to seek a new leader who can take the team to the top of Liga MX. Fans are hoping that the management acts quickly to find a suitable replacement who can revitalize the club's project.
