Several reports indicated the Chivas bosses were considering parting ways with Vucetich and were considering the appointment of Ricardo Ferretti as their new manager for the 2021 Apertura tournament. But on Wednesday Chivas president Amaury Vergara and sporting director Ricardo Peláez confirmed that Vucetich will keep his job next season.
Vucetich wants to bring new players this summer
The Mexican manager has the numbers in his favor and he managed to take Chivas to the playoffs in back-to-back tournaments. That is what led the bosses in Guadalajara to give Vucetich another shot and they are now working on summer signings ahead of the 2021 Apertura tournament.
According to several reports, Vucetich held a meeting with Vergara and Peláez and told them to trust the process. However, he is aware that Chivas need to sell in order to bring in new players before the preseason starts.
