Necaxa Parts Ways With Fernando Gago After Apertura Stumble

Reports identify Martín Varini as the preferred candidate, with his ongoing campaign potentially delaying a decision.

Overview

  • Club Necaxa announced that Fernando Gago and his coaching staff have left, adding that the board is already working to appoint a new head coach for the next tournament.
  • Under Gago, Necaxa collected 17 points in Apertura 2025, failed to reach the Play-In, and also missed out in the 2025 Leagues Cup.
  • RÉCORD reports that Martín Varini is a leading option to take over, but his current duties with FC Juárez could slow negotiations until their Apertura participation ends.
  • With Liga MX removing the Play-In for the upcoming tournament, Necaxa must finish inside the top eight to qualify for the liguilla.
  • Local reporting indicates the club expects to confirm player exits in the coming weeks, with Agustín Palavecino frequently cited among potential departures.
