It's Nacho team anymore




Ignacio "Nacho" Ambriz, having spent the past seven years under the tutelage of Javier "Vasco" Aguirre, turned down a lucrative offer to be part of the Mexican national team’s coaching staff in order to pursue a job as head coach. Last season Ambriz was offered the reigns of Chivas de Guadalajara but Nacho politely declined as he had unfinished business in Madrid.

In a strange turn of events Ambriz refusal opened the doors for Francisco Ramirez to take over the Guadalajara side. Ramirez stint with Chivas, however, has been nothing short of disastrous and with the club having already missed the last two league playoffs Pacos bad start of the season has him with one foot out of the institutions revolving door.

Rumors have now hit the airwaves and Vergara is believed to have given Paco one last chance against Pachuca. Nothing short of a well played victory will keep Ramirez at Guadalajara and seeing how the club has been performing I would not be surprised if Paco prepares his suit case before the match.

Already lined up to take over Ramirez is Ambriz. The former Necaxa and Mexico midfielder is known for his no nonsense attitude and hard work ethic. Ambriz time in Spain, helping coach Osasuna and Atletico de Madrid, is more preparation than all of the debutant coaches who have taken over the helm under Vergara’s reign. In that sense Nacho should be more than capable of turning Chivas fortunes around.
