Guillermo Almada has a new team after his stint in Spain. Club América officially announced the hiring of the Uruguayan coach as their new head coach for the Apertura 2026 tournament. Through a statement, the Mexican institution confirmed the arrival of the former Real Oviedo coach, who will take charge of the Eagles in one of the most important projects in Mexican football. "Club América announces the incorporation of Guillermo Almada as Technical Director of the Eagles, who will be presenting himself in the coming days at the Nido de Coapa to meet with the players and board in preparation for the Apertura 2026 tournament", the club stated. Almada's arrival comes just days after confirming his departure from Real Oviedo, an institution he left after announcing he would not continue as head coach by personal decision. The Uruguayan coach will now face a new challenge in his career, taking charge of one of the largest and most demanding clubs in Mexico, with the goal of competing for titles at both local and international levels. For Almada, it will be a new stage in Mexican football, where he has already left a mark during his time at Santos Laguna and Pachuca, solidifying himself as one of the most recognized coaches in the region.
