LIGA MX
Which coaches have been fired in the Liga MX Clausura 2023?
So far, five Liga MX clubs have changed head coach in the Clausura 2023 tournament - and Pumas could become the sixth.
The first half of the Clausura 2023 has been played and, as usual, several coaches have not lasted the whole tournament.
Pumas could sack Puente del Río
The most recent coach whose position has been placed in jeopardy is Rafael Puente del Río, whose Pumas side have drawn two and lost three of their last five Liga MX games. The club’s board is considering firing the 44-year-old, who replaced Andrés Lillini at the seven-time Mexican champions in October.
