According to sources close to the Guadalajara Sports Club, Veljko Paunovic irrevocably presented his resignation as technical director of Chivas, after facing serious disagreements with part of the squad and management members. The news has generated a stir and all kinds of comments about his possible successor.
According to El Universal, since last Wednesday, the Serbian-Spanish coach would have formalized his decision to leave the position, despite the attempts of the club’s sports director, Fernando Hierro, to persuade him to stay in his position. However, irreconcilable differences would have been decisive in Paunovic’s resignation.
The name of Argentine coach Fernando Gago has emerged as the main candidate to fill the vacant position in the Guadalajara team. Although no details have been confirmed about possible negotiations, the possible arrival of Gago has begun to gain momentum among the club’s fans and followers.
THE FACE OF CHIVAS CHANGED

The team reached the final, where they lost to the Tigers with an aggregate score of 3-2. Despite various setbacks such as injuries and indiscipline in the squad, he managed to take the team to the quarterfinals in the following tournament.
This is not the first time that there has been speculation about the early departure of Veljko Paunovic from the Sacred Flock, since during the regular tournament an alleged interest from Almería, from Spain, was mentioned, although the coach denied it at that time.
