Club America has had one of the worst starts in franchise history in this Liga MX 2022 Clausura season. The capital city side is currently in 15th place with four points and only has one win all season.
Manager Santiago Solari has been the scapegoat for a lot of Club America supporters for good reason, given that Las Aguilas count with a talented and expensive roster. Solari has been unable to construct a consistent and effective lineup as he has toggled with the starting 11 all season.
With Henry Martin out due to an injury, Solari and Club America will now need to face Pumas UNAM away from home in Week 7 of the Liga MX. This “Clasico Capitalino” bout has the potential to be Solari’s last game in charge of Club America given Los Azulcremas lackluster run of form.
Seeing how the Argentine manager deals with Henry Martin’s absence in such a significant game is a great test for Solari. Club America has also specifically struggled with its backline and with an offense like Pumas coming up against it the scenario does not seem promising.
For several Aguila faithful Solari’s sacking is way overdue and it is surprising to see how patient Club America has been. The manager is not the only problem at Club America as the front office also failed with its signings as players like Ferney Otero, Alejandro Zendejas and Jonathan Dos Santos have been highly ineffective this season.
The players have also been underperforming with an insecure backline and an inconsistent offense. Veteran goalkeeper Guillermo Ochoa has also been highly unreliable this season with underwhelming performances.
