Overview
- Atlético de San Luis announced a mutual parting with head coach Guillermo Abascal and installed Raúl Chabrand as interim through the rest of the Clausura 2026 tournament.
- La Crónica de Hoy attributes the decision to a run of poor results, irregular play, and a gap between Abascal’s ideas and the squad’s execution that left the club outside strong postseason positions.
- Bolavip, citing 365scores, reports that Monterrey stakeholder FEMSA asked the board to start lining up options to replace Nicolás Sánchez during the March FIFA window, which is the league break for national team matches.
- The same report says Sánchez would only keep his job by winning the Clausura 2026 title, while other coaches named as under pressure include André Jardine, Guido Pizarro, Martín Varini, Esteban González, and interim Omar Tapia.
- Pressure has risen across Liga MX since playoff access contracted to the top eight, and the March international break gives clubs time to contact candidates and plan midseason changes.
