Overview

• Gabriel Milito has taken 3 points from the first 12 in Liga MX with one win and three losses after a strong unbeaten preseason, and Chivas were also knocked out of the Leagues Cup.
• RÉCORD places Milito’s opening at Chivas as the second-worst of the Amaury Vergara era, behind Gerardo Espinoza and below starts by Óscar García, Marcelo Michel Leaño and others.
• RÉCORD, citing columnist El Francotirador and decision-makers Alejandro Manzo and Javier Mier, reports the board intends to keep Milito in place for now.
• LA NACION reports the next four league matches against Cruz Azul, América, Tigres and Toluca are being cast as pivotal for his future, with the immediate trip to face Tijuana on August 22 already scheduled.
• Supporter frustration grew after the home loss to Juárez, and Milito noted penalties have been given in each of the four league games while rejecting claims of systematic officiating harm.
