Esteban Solari Appointed Head Coach of Pumas UNAM Football

Pumas UNAM hired former striker Esteban Solari to lead the team into the Apertura 2026 campaign. The club suffered a painful final loss to Cruz Azul last season and saw captain Efraín Juárez depart, creating an identity gap.

The departure of left‑back Jordan Carrillo to Chivas also left a void on the flank. Solari, an experienced coach, aims to strengthen the roster and restore Pumas’ competitive edge.
