Santos Laguna is going through an institutional crisis that seeks to rescue a team that seems to have lost its identity. After a nightmare night against Mazatlán, the Santos Laguna board officially announced the immediate dismissal of Francisco Rodríguez Vílchez and a purge of top sports officials. The crisis is not just about results, but also about the team's identity, with only one point earned out of 18 possible, the Spanish strategist leaves the team at the bottom of the general table. The defensive fragility and the null capacity for reaction on the field were the triggers of a management that never managed to connect with the idiosyncrasy of the Guerrero. The change of direction did not only affect the bench; in an unusual move that demonstrates the gravity of the situation, Braulio Rodríguez was also dismissed from his position as Director of Sports Management. This decision marks a before and after in the administration of Aleco Irarragorri, who in a press conference made it clear that the institution will not tolerate mediocrity. The person in charge of putting out the fire will be Roberto Omar Tapia, a strategist formed in the heart of the Lagunera quarry and with a history of successes in minor categories, assumes the interim position. Tapia represents the last hope of stability for a squad that looks emotionally broken; his immediate mission is to prepare for the visit to León this Saturday, where not only three points are at stake, but also the pride of a region that demands respect for its colors. The restructuring has just begun, with a deadline of 60 days to find a new Sports Director, Santos Laguna starts a process of deep introspection. As time goes by, the fans expect a real change, the team will have to demonstrate on the field that the fighting spirit is still alive in the desert. So, the question is, can Tapia reverse the situation and bring Santos Laguna back to the forefront? Only time will tell. But for now, the albiverde institution is in a moment of transition and restructuring, with its eyes on the future and the hope of becoming a competitive team again in the Liga MX.
