Pizarro takes the reins at Tigres after Paunovic's departure
Guido Pizarro, a Tigres legend, has taken over as coach after ending his successful career as a footballer. Pizarro, who wore the captain’s armband since 2019, denied rumors of a bad relationship between the squad and the previous coach, Veljko Paunovic, highlighting the team’s commitment and dedication under his leadership.
The Argentinian, with a career of eleven seasons at Tigres and four league titles, has been preparing for this moment, obtaining the Pro License and a Master’s in Sports Management. Pizarro expressed his gratitude to Paunovic and his coaching staff, recognizing their efforts to achieve the club’s objectives.
Now, with his sights set on the future, Pizarro is excited and confident in his new stage. His goal is clear: to make Tigres a leading team on all fronts. Pizarro’s debut as coach will be this Tuesday in the first leg of the round of 16 of the Concacaf Champions Cup against Cincinnati.
