Santiago Baños Backs André Jardine as Club América Manager Amid Questions About His Future

Santiago Baños addressed the media to clarify the current situation surrounding André Jardine at Club América. The club’s sporting president confirmed that the Brazilian coach continues to have the full support of the board despite recent criticism over the team’s results.

Baños made it clear that the project with Jardine remains firmly in place. According to the executive, the club still trusts the coach’s work and is not considering any managerial changes at this time.

The América executive also spoke about the team’s current form in the tournament. Baños acknowledged that results inevitably create pressure, but he emphasized that both the squad and coaching staff are working hard to improve performances on the field.

He reiterated that the club’s long-term vision focuses on stability and continuity. For that reason, the board believes maintaining the current process under Jardine is the best path forward.

Jardine arrived at Club América with the responsibility of keeping the club among the top contenders in Mexican football. Since taking charge, the Brazilian coach has delivered important results and established a competitive playing identity within the squad.

However, the start of the 2026 Clausura tournament has raised some concerns among supporters. The team has experienced inconsistent performances, which has led to criticism directed at both the coaching staff and club leadership.

Despite that context, Baños reaffirmed the club’s confidence in its head coach. He insisted that Club América’s project remains solid and that André Jardine will continue leading the team as long as the board maintains its support for his work.
