The Brazilian coach has never had three consecutive defeats at the head of América in Liga MX and this weekend he is at risk of breaking that statistic in Querétaro.
Since the arrival of André Jardine al America In the summer of 2023, the Eagles have not recorded three consecutive losses in any competition of Liga MX. That scenario could change this weekend during his visit to Queretarowhere the Brazilian faces the possibility of signing his worst streak in front of the team.
Jardine He plays his sixth tournament with Americaa stage in which he has already accumulated more than a hundred matches between Liga y League. Their worst streak so far dates back to Apertura 2024, when they lost to Puebla and Cruz Azul on matchdays 5 and 6, respectively. That double setback did not turn into a major streak, since on matchday 7 the coach avoided the third consecutive defeat thanks to the victory in the National Classic against Chivas, with a solitary score by defender Ramón Juárez.
Today, that negative mark has been equaled. The defeats against Tigres and FC Juárez have placed the Águilas on the verge of an unprecedented record since the arrival of the Brazilian coach. In the duel against Queretaro will be defined if America falls into its worst sporting crisis of the era Jardine. A third consecutive defeat would confirm the coach’s most difficult moment in Coapa and would raise red flags heading into the final stretch of the semester, in which the club also seeks to compete in Concacaf.
Despite this, the azulcrema board remains calm. Internally, they do not consider that the team is going through a crisis and they trust that the team will react to fight again for the objectives of the semester, both in the local tournament and on the international level.
Santiago Bañossports president of the club, supported the team in a press conference and recalled that America He has already shown the ability to pull himself together in difficult moments.
“We were already in a similar position in the three-time championship. We qualified as eighth, we already know how to get up from this slump. We are calm; if tomorrow were the Leaguewe would be a little more worried. We have many points ahead, we are two points away. With a view to the Concachampions,” said the manager.
With that support, the Eagles reach Queretaro with the obligation to prevent history from recording the first streak of three consecutive defeats under the command of Jardine.
