Chivas, Milito Management Prepares for Apertura 2026 with Four Key Players

Chivas enters the Apertura 2026 with five World Cup veterans aiming for a strong start. Head coach Gabriel Milito has reinforced the squad, but the fate of four players will hinge on their performances by season’s end.

The team opens the campaign against Toluca, and the contract situations of those players will dictate crucial decisions throughout the campaign. This pressure will shape both on‑field competitiveness and the club’s financial planning.
