Chivas Has One New Manager

By: Andrea | September 17th, 2009

So, Chivas played a “friendly” against America in Kansas City for Mexican Independence Day. Chivas won against the old foes with a 2-1 score. So was Ramirez really the problem? Highlights after the jump.

And……….

Chivas has a new manager. Yes, just one this time.

What’s ridiculous is that I have a “New Manager” tag for this blog. And I had it before this fiasco. Seriously, Chivas is a telenovela.

Chivas won the first Classico of this season. They did have a few issues. Again, as you can see, there was trouble on the defensive part. Chivas were also really lucky to have the equalizer given to them in the form of an own goal. The goal scored by Magallon was offsides, there really is no complaining over that.

Overall, not a spectacular game but one that should give Chivas momentum going into the weekend and last 10 games of the season. The thing about Mexican football is that you can be completely sucky and still qualify for the Liguilla as long as you place highly in your group which isn’t entirely too hard.

So the new manager is Raul Arias. He used to be the Necaxa coach before they were relegated.

According to Vergara it was a unanimous decision by the Chivas Football Committee to have Mr. Arias take over as manager.

His style is clearly defensive, but perhaps that’s what we need at the moment. Chivas have been giving up goals like it’s Christmas and a little more order at the back might be what they need.

Also, I think that Chivas have enough quality up top with Chicharo and Arellano(however long he stays healthy) that scoring should come on it’s own.
