Carlos Emilio Gonzalez will not continue as president of Tigres UANL, according to multiple reports in the Mexican press, ending a tenure that began on June 1, 2026.
The club has not announced the change. Tigres have issued no official position on the presidency as of publication.
How the News Broke
Santiago Fourcade of RG La Deportiva reported on Friday, November 6, 2026, that Gonzalez would not remain in charge for the next tournament. Mediotiempo carried the same information that day.
Ivan del Angel of FOX Sports Mexico reported the same day that the exit was practically a fact and only awaited official confirmation.
RECORD reported on November 6 that Gonzalez would not stay in the job once 2026 concludes.
On Monday, November 9, 2026, Roberto Flores of RG La Deportiva reported that Tigres would announce the departure officially in the coming hours, possibly today or tomorrow.
Five Months in the Job
Gonzalez, a Cemex executive with more than 30 years at the company, was designated on March 25, 2026. He took office on June 1, succeeding Mauricio Culebro, who left for the Atlanta United project in MLS.
His brief was to give continuity to the club’s institutional project and lead a new stage of growth.
His only tournament ended with Tigres eliminated from the Liguilla in the Apertura 2026, closing a run of 12 straight years in the playoffs. The elimination was sealed with two matchdays still to play.
Reports differ on the effective date. El Porvenir has the exit taking effect in January, at the end of the tournament.
What Comes Next
No successor has been named. The reporting is consistent that the exit would be the first of several structural changes expected at the club.
Until the club speaks, the change remains a reported exit, not an announced one.
This piece is based on the reports named above. Tigres and Cemex have not commented, and FutnSoccer will update the story when the club makes the change official.
