Despite public praise from the new coach, local reports say the club will let the playmaker’s deal expire in December.

Overview

  • Club León officially presented Ignacio Ambriz as head coach after Eduardo Berizzo's resignation.
  • Multiple outlets citing Récord’s Francotirador report the club does not plan to renew James Rodríguez’s contract, which runs through December 2025.
  • The same reporting says neither Ambriz nor James is pushing for an extension and that the midfielder may not start against Toluca.
  • Ambriz’s first match back is scheduled for Saturday, October 4, at Estadio Nou Camp versus reigning champion Toluca, with León sitting 11th and targeting the Play-In.
  • Social media focused on a noticeable change in Ambriz’s appearance at his presentation, with unverified health speculation circulated and attributed to commentary from reporter René Tovar.
