Club Leon has announced the hiring of Javier Gandolfi as their new head coach. This announcement was made on Friday, March 20, at a critical time for the team, which is currently in 16th place in the Clausura 2026 tournament standings, with only 10 points and seven units away from the playoff zone. The decision to appoint Gandolfi comes after Ignacio Ambriz resigned following a tough 0-3 defeat to Tijuana. Jesús Martínez Murguía, president of Club Leon, stated that the team is going through difficult times and has lost its identity. Gandolfi, 45, takes the reins of a team that has struggled with performance in the final stretch of the regular phase. Before Ambriz, Argentine Eduardo Berizzo also resigned as head coach of the Esmeralda team. With Gandolfi's arrival, fans are hoping for a positive change in Club Leon's performance in the upcoming matches.
