After achieving a victory against Necaxa in the Clausura Tournament 2025, Cruz Azul's management considered Vicente Sánchez as a real option to remain as the team's head coach until the end of the season. Although it was initially mentioned that the Uruguayan had safely requested the team before his interim position, it had not been granted to him. However, consecutive victories and a good relationship with the fans have led to a decision regarding the coaching direction.
In recent days, several names had been considered to take charge of Cruz Azul, including Diego Milito, Efraín Juárez, Renato Paiva, and Diego Alonso. After a second victory against Xolos at the Estadio Caliente, confidence in coach Vicente Sánchez has grown, and the management has decided to keep him as the coach until the end of the tournament.
Sánchez's continuity as DT of Cruz Azul is supported by good results and the connection established with the squad. Although Guillermo Almada was initially considered for the position, the situation changed with the team's good performance under Sánchez's direction. It is expected that support for the Uruguayan may influence the management to wait until the end of the tournament to define his future or seek a new strategist.
Despite the uncertainty arising after Martín Anselmi's departure, currently, Cruz Azul's project only extends until the end of the current tournament, after which it is planned to look for a coach with more experience in the position.
