🚨 Confirmed: Fernando Gago named new Necaxa manager | OneFootball

Fernando Gago will continue his coaching career with the Rayos de Necaxa.

This was confirmed on Friday by the outlet Súper Deportivo, after rumors had been growing in the previous hours.

The 39-year-old Argentine coach returns to manage in Mexican football, where he already led Chivas de Guadalajara in the 2024 season.

Gago, one-year contract with Necaxa

The coach, who comes from a controversial departure at Boca Juniors, signed a contract with Necaxa until June 2026, where he replaces fellow Argentine Nicolás Larcamón.

Gago adds his fifth team in his managerial career, after Aldosivi, Racing, Chivas, and Boca.

'Pintita' left Xeneize after a very poor season in which he was eliminated early from the Copa Libertadores. The defeat in the Superclásico played at the Monumental hastened his exit from Xeneize, a club Gago has considered "his home".

At Chivas, previously, Gago also had a surprising and controversial departure. In Mexico, it was believed that he had already negotiated his move to Boca while still coaching Chivas, something the coach denied, although he did reveal that he paid the release clause stipulated in his contract in order to then make a deal with Boca Juniors.
