For the Chivas del Guadalajara team, there is a man who meant a lot to the rojiblanco fans, and that man is Marías Almeyda, the coach who led them to a Liga MX championship. It was the twelfth championship for the team, and the first since 2006.
This championship holds a special place in the hearts of all Chivahermanos, as it marked the team's resurgence after years of obscurity and the threat of relegation. It was a crisis for the institution, but thanks to Almeyda's guidance, everything changed.
"We made history in Mexico," said Almeyda about the unforgettable Clausura MX 2017 title with Chivas.
In an interview with The Coaches' Voice, the current coach of AEK Athens recalled the final against Tigres and the strategy they used to stop the powerful opponent. Despite being the underdogs, Chivas emerged victorious.

According to Almeyda, winning the championship and enjoying the final moments was incredibly gratifying for him and the coaching staff. It marked a significant moment in Mexican football and in the history of Chivas.
As for the future, Almeyda remains confident in his coaching abilities and is ready to continue making an impact in the world of football.
