After the farewell of Guillermo Ochoa from América, the directive of the Eagles began to search for a goalkeeper to create competition with Óscar Jiménez, so they officially announced the former goalkeeper of Necaxa, Luis Malagón.
"A new Eagle lands in Coapa. Ready to fly in the Nest," wrote América on Twitter to announce their new signing.
It should be mentioned that the coach of the hydrates, Andrés Lillini, assured that he was not considered in the match against Pumas to avoid any injury and to prevent the negotiation from falling through with the Necaxa leaders.
"I didn't take Malagón to the bench because the directive is finishing the negotiation with América and we chose not to risk him. The president told me that he is carrying out the negotiation and it is very close," said the strategist, who added that once Malagón's departure is official, they will look for a goalkeeper in the Mexican market.
Grateful
About his return to Ciudad Universitaria, Lillini said he was grateful for the warm welcome from the directive and players, as it was the club that gave him the opportunity to coach in the First Division.
"The feeling is of having reunited with what Pumas gave me so much, people, directive, and players. My feeling is of gratitude and wanting to love them, it's something that will happen throughout my life."
