Carlos Emilio González Tigres president departure harassment complaint, Digi Mart USA News: Carlos Emilio González will leave his post as president of Tigres, according to a report published by Record Mexico. The report says the departure is not due to his management performance over less than half a year leading the Liguilla-less club, but because of violations of labor and workplace conduct codes within the CEMEX-linked team organization.
González arrived at Tigres in June 2026, replacing Mauricio Culebro, who left to join Atlanta United in MLS. According to the report, his tenure was marked by difficulties, including the departure of Guido Pizarro over budget limits, failure to integrate André-Pierre Gignac after his retirement as a player, and the exit of Ángel Correa to River Plate.
The report also says CEMEX imposed Víctor Manuel Vucetich as sporting director, and that González did not secure the expected signings, with other board members reportedly completing late deals for Emiliano Gómez and Memote Martínez. Tigres was eliminated from the Liguilla, which the report describes as the first such exit in 23 tournaments.
According to the article, González’s review of commercial practices within the club found no wrongdoing. However, the report says his interactions with club staff were often blunt, and an employee from a department without direct contact with him filed a harassment complaint.
The article says a second similar complaint followed, prompting CEMEX leadership to order his removal, though the publication withheld the employee’s identity.
The report adds that González has not appeared at recent Tigres events and that his departure is expected to be made official in the coming days. Mauricio Doehner remains at the head of the project despite rumors, and Víctor Manuel Vucetich is also expected to stay.
The club is reportedly still studying who will fill the vacancy left by González.
