Club América Reassigns Sporting Director as Antonio Ibrahim Emerges as Likely Successor

A separate report positions Santiago Baños for an FMF leadership role after the World Cup.

Overview

  • The club confirmed Diego Ramírez is leaving the sporting director post and will stay linked to América without authority over transfers or long‑term planning.
  • Coverage attributes the move to a breakdown in Ramírez’s relationship with head coach André Jardine.
  • Multiple reports indicate scouting and sports intelligence chief Antonio Ibrahim is expected to take over on an interim basis, though the appointment has not been announced.
  • A Récord column says the board is also weighing former player Luis Fuentes as an alternative for the role in a future window.
  • Fox Sports journalist Gustavo Mendoza reports Emilio Azcárraga is considering moving Santiago Baños to lead the FMF after the World Cup, a scenario that would drive a broader restructuring and remove him from day‑to‑day club duties.
