Matías Almeyda faces uncertain future as Monterrey coach

Matías Almeyda’s position as head coach of Monterrey has become precarious following a series of poor results, culminating in a heavy 4-0 defeat against Toluca. This result has dropped the team to tenth place in the Apertura 2026 standings, putting the Argentine manager’s tenure at risk. Reports indicate that Almeyda must secure two wins in the final two matches of the regular season to reach the top eight and qualify for the final phase of the tournament.

The immediate schedule for Monterrey includes a rescheduled match against Queretaro on November 14 at the Corregidora stadium, followed by a final regular-season away game against Pumas on November 21 at the Ciudad Universitaria. Almeyda has publicly accepted responsibility for the team’s poor performance, describing the squad’s play as a disaster.

Adding to the instability, reports from the Mexican media, specifically the program "Cuadro Titular" on FOX, suggest that internal tensions are mounting. Journalist Angel Garcia Toranio noted that Almeyda is frustrated by internal leaks within the club and has allegedly discussed the possibility of resignation with his associates. The club currently faces a high-pressure environment as they head into these decisive final fixtures.
