The Monterrey board decided to dispense with the services of Fernando Ortiz after the uncertain start in the Apertura 2024 tournament of the Liga MX and the poor performance in the Leagues Cup 2024, a competition in which Rayados was surprisingly eliminated in the group stage.
During his time at the helm of Monterrey, ‘Tano’ Ortiz achieved a 63% effectiveness, after winning 35 games, drawing 11 and losing 15. However, despite the good numbers, the club’s fans were upset with this process because Rayados did not reach the finals.
In the last few hours, it has been rumoured that Jorge Sampaoli is the favourite to take over at Monterrey. The Argentine coach is currently a free agent and would be the board’s main candidate.
