Matías Almeyda Monterrey coaching future, Digi Mart USA News: Monterrey’s closing match of the tournament was not the result fans, the coaching staff and the players had hoped for. On Saturday night, Toluca exposed the team’s defensive shortcomings and ended a very complicated week for Matías Almeyda, who revealed that people are leaking what happens inside the dressing room.
Rumors have begun to suggest that the coach, known as ‘Pelado,’ may be planning to resign at the end of the Apertura 2026. Despite the speculation and the defeat to Toluca, Monterrey still controls its own destiny.
The team has 21 points and one pending match, scheduled for Saturday, November 14, against Querétaro. Adding the last six points it could earn, Monterrey could still qualify for the Liguilla.
After the heavy loss to Toluca, a visibly upset Almeyda said his team, among other things, delivered a very poor performance. The club closed what could be described as the most difficult week of Almeyda’s tenure, largely because of the leaks he disclosed during the week.
Versions of the story began circulating on the FOX program ‘Cuadro Titular.’ According to panelist Ángel García Toraño, someone close to the coach reportedly said he was considering resigning. The analyst said: “A little bird told me the issue with Almeyda at Monterrey is serious.
He gathered the players, the press was present, there were subtitles so the press knew what he was telling the players, and they tell me Almeyda is resigning.”
Apart from the resignation rumors, the Monterrey coach offered self-criticism at his post-match press conference following the defeat to Toluca. He said: “I have many things in my head from the analysis of the match.
I prefer to keep them and say that we were widely outplayed. Football-wise, our performance was very poor.”
