With a long list of names, the Vergara family has tried in different ways to take Chivas de Guadalajara to the highest positions in Liga MX
Ricardo Cadena left Chivas de Guadalajara, something that also happened with Ricardo Peláez, thus being two farewells that the Guadalajara team suffered, leaving the flock without a manager or coach. As a result, we will take a look at the past and see all the strategists and directors who have passed through the team under the command of Jorge and Amaury Vergara.
Jorge Vergara as a Chivas de Guadalajara businessman gave several personalities the opportunity to be part of the group’s board and to lead the squad from the edge of the pitch:

However, in 2019, with the death of Jorge Vergara, the team fell into the hands of his son, Amaury, who has also had a job looking to be crowned champion in Mexico, and as expected, he also hired technicians and in his case a single manager.
Technicians in the Era of Amaury Vergara
- Luis Fernando Tena | Opening 2019 – 2020
- Victor Manuel Vucetich | 2020 – Opening 2021
- Michel Leano | Opening 2021 – 2022
- Richard Chain | Closing 2022 – Opening 2022
Managers in the Amaury Vergara Era
- Ricardo Pelaez | 2020-2022
Now, we must take into account that Amaury will have to hire a new coach and a new manager to face the next season of the sacred herd.
