Tigres Confirms André‑Pierre Gignac Will Leave After 11 Years

Club leaders said failed contract talks and recent leadership changes closed his playing cycle while his next steps remain undecided.

Overview

  • Tigres officials confirmed on Monday that André‑Pierre Gignac will not continue with the club after an 11‑year spell that made him the team’s all‑time top scorer.
  • President of the club committee Mauricio Doehner said negotiations to extend Gignac’s 2025 one‑year renewal did not reach agreement and called the decision the natural end of a cycle.
  • The announcement followed Tigres’ loss to Toluca in the CONCACAF Champions Cup final and came at the presentation of new club president Carlos Emilio González.
  • The club has not confirmed any formal farewell or tribute for Gignac, and reports say talks are taking place about whether he could remain with Tigres in a non‑playing role.
  • Gignac’s 11 years with Tigres produced five Liga MX titles, multiple domestic cups, the 2020 CONCACAF Champions League, and helped raise Liga MX’s international profile.
