Pachuca's Jesús Martínez Ousts Paunović, Brings Back Carrión at Struggling Real Oviedo

He framed the change as a results-based decision, reaffirming tight control over recruitment.

Overview

  • Martínez said the dismissal was his personal call for sporting reasons after Oviedo took 6 of 24 points and sat 17th in LaLiga.
  • Luis Carrión returns as head coach on a deal through July, with Martínez urging a shift in mindset toward mid-table and higher objectives.
  • The owner vowed to sell and leave if supporters decide Grupo Pachuca is not working at full commitment.
  • Martínez emphasized that he authorizes all signings and rejected costly summer targets such as Luka Jović and Maksimovic to protect the club’s finances.
  • He also alleged, without naming the individual, that a coach had “stolen from me in León” during his tenure overseeing Grupo Pachuca’s Mexican clubs.
