Club América is experiencing one of its deepest crises in many years. The azulcrema team has had a terrible sporting performance in the first half of the Liga MX Clausura 2022 tournament, which resulted in the dismissal of Santiago Solari, and at an institutional level the club is also experiencing a crisis. After the departure of the Argentine coach, everything pointed to the fact that Gilberto Adame, once Miguel Herrera’s assistant and Solari himself, would stay as interim for the remainder of the semester.
However, in an unexpected turn of events, Adame resigned from the Coapa institution and Fernando Ortiz, former América player and coach of the Águilas U-20 team, was left in charge of the squad until the end of Clausura 2022. In an interview With the program The Last Word, of the Fox Sports network, Gil Adame told his version of what happened this week within the Americanist team.
During the interview, the Mexican coach reported that after the dismissal of Santiago Solari he met with Diego Ramírez, sports director of Club América. Adame mentioned that the manager told him that he would not be part of the new coaching staff and that he would not be the interim coach of the azulcrema team. Gil Adame assured that he also spoke with Santiago Baños, sports president, with whom he spoke more about football performance.
“I would have loved (to be interim coach of America). I was very excited because I have worked hard for an opportunity and I felt that it could happen. Perhaps I did not do enough in the last five years to have earned it”
– Gil Adame to Fox Sports
Finally, the Mexican coach indicated that his cycle with the Eagles had already come to an end and that he would have left the team at the end of the season, even if he had taken the interim role, because his goal is to lead. On the appointment of Fernando Ortiz, Adame preferred not to comment.
