Efraín Juárez Resigns as Pumas Head Coach After Dispute Over Transfers

A phone resignation over transfer-plan disputes leaves Pumas negotiating a contract settlement, with Guillermo Vázquez reported as the frontrunner to replace him.

Overview

  • Multiple Mexican outlets reported that Juárez resigned from Pumas by telephone, and the club made immediate attempts to reach him after the call.
  • Reports attribute the split to irreconcilable differences with the directiva over sporting planning and the club’s willingness to sign the reinforcements Juárez requested.
  • Juárez’s contract runs through December 2026, so Pumas and the coach must now negotiate how any termination or severance will be handled.
  • Media named Guillermo Vázquez as the leading candidate to take over at Pumas, though the club had not issued an official confirmation as of the latest reports.
  • Some outlets separately reported an unconfirmed offer from a Belgian club for Juárez and warned the departure could prompt player departures or changes to Pumas’ summer transfer plans.
