MEXICO CITY, May 28 (Xinhua) -- Pachuca parted ways with Uruguayan manager Guillermo Almada on Wednesday, just three weeks before the club's debut at the FIFA Club World Cup in the United States.
The decision comes after Pachuca was eliminated in the quarterfinals of Mexico's Liga MX Clausura tournament earlier this month by Club America.
"Manager Guillermo Almada concluded his brilliant tenure at the helm of our team today, bidding goodbye to players, staff, directors and collaborators with an emotional farewell," Pachuca said in a statement.
Almada led Pachuca to 72 wins, 39 draws and 45 losses after taking charge of the club in December 2021.
The 58-year-old guided the club to the 2022 Liga MX Apertura title, the 2024 CONCACAF Champions Cup and a runner-up finish to Real Madrid at the 2024 Intercontinental Cup.
"Today I close a wonderful stage of my life, and I do so with a heart overflowing with gratitude," said Almada.
Pachuca will begin its Club World Cup campaign against Red Bull Salzburg in Cincinnati on June 18 before also facing Al-Hilal and Real Madrid in the group stage. Enditem
