New President for Club America


Club America has new president.  Former America, Guadalajara, Necaxa, and Mexican National Team star Ricardo Peláez became the new president for the team.  It was announced earlier this week during a conference that he would be in charge from now on.  He announced that his goal would be to make this team a strong one.  He stated he will have one-on-one conversations with each player on the squad to find out who was dedicated to stay.  He blatantly stated, “Work and humility are the words that will set our path.”

In other news, Alfredo Tena is no longer coach and Luis Roberto Alves is no longer the Vice President of Club America.  Remember, Tena had only been the coach for a couple of months, leading the team during the last games of Apertura 2011.  I still haven’t heard of a solid reason as to why Tena is gone, but one can only imagine it is due to the lack of wins during the tournament.  In regards to Alves, Peláez stated that management wanted to start anew with a “clean slate.”
What in the world is going on with this team?!  The search is on for a coach that can manage to get this team back to the position it’s supposed to be in.  Hopefully, it won’t take too long; this coming January holds a crucial match.  Let’s have faith that good things will come of this!
