After a disappointing 1-1 draw at home against Queretaro on Tuesday night, Club America confirmed on Wednesday that the 45-year-old Argentine was no longer managing the team.
Solari’s firing comes off a poor start to the 2022 Clausura season that featured just one win in eight matches.
The former Real Madrid manager was first brought in by Club America in December of 2020. Although he went on to push the Mexico City team to spots at second in the 2021 Clausura and first in the 2021 Apertura regular seasons, Solari was unable to win a Liga MX title in ensuing playoff runs from both tournaments.
A lack of a Liga MX trophy, along with a loss in the 2021 CONCACAF Champions League final, placed the manager on the hot seat ahead of 2022.
