Overview
- Diego Dabove resigned on Wednesday, Sept. 23, 2026, after a poor run of form and media reports show he coached either 76 or 77 matches for Tigre.
- The decision followed a three-game losing streak in the Torneo Clausura that included a 3-2 loss to Vélez and a stretch of one win in eight matches.
- Tigre's recent cup exits — elimination by Montevideo City Torque in the Copa Sudamericana and a loss in the Copa Argentina — contributed to mounting pressure on the coach.
- Dabove had led Tigre since January 2025 and delivered strong 2025 results, including a fifth-place Apertura finish and Sudamericana qualification and knockout progression.
- The club must now appoint a replacement as Tigre sits on 12 points and outside playoff spots, a change that comes amid roughly 25 coaching departures across Primera División in 2026 and eight during the Clausura.
