© Mauricio Salas/JAM MEDIAJardine finished as the overall leader with América in just his first tournament.
América had a highly criticized summer market before starting the 2023 Liga MX Apertura tournament for one particular reason: they did not close their new technical director after the departure of Fernando Ortiz. Different candidates were interviewed, each with a particular profile, but the white smoke did not come out of the Nido dome and The start of the new contest was getting closer.
André Jardine was the chosen one and the first games left more doubts than certainties. The beginning of the process was negative since they lost at home against FC Juárez. Weeks later the Leagues Cup would come in the United States and with it, the failure of being left out in the Round of 16 in a controversial match against Nashville.
The return to the local tournament was not entirely convincing; three home games of which they tied two and won one unconvincingly raised questions about his competence for this position. It was there that Jardine raised his voice to ask for patience and trust in this process because the best was just yet to come.
“YOr I ask for a vote of confidence from the people, a little patience, whenever the technical director changes, many things change and it shows on the field.. The team generates a lot, we are the ones that generate the most, we are the ones that let the rival do the least, our problem is that we are not scoring goals, knowing how to close is important, these are adjustments that we will try over time, the best version of America is yet to come”were his words after the draw with León at the end of August.
JARDINE’S SUCCESSFUL
