Manager Miguel 'Piojo' Herrera and Club Tijuana have mutually agreed to part ways, as announced by the Liga MX side. Herrera's second stint with Tijuana, which began in February 2023, did not yield the same success as his initial tenure from 2015 to 2017. During his first stint, Herrera led Xolos to top finishes in the 2016 Apertura and 2017 Clausura regular seasons. However, in the recent seasons under his charge, Tijuana failed to qualify for the Liga MX playoffs.
In the 2024 Clausura tournament, Tijuana finished 16th in the standings and landed at the bottom of the 2023-24 coefficient table, resulting in an 80 million pesos fine for the club. Herrera described this season as the 'worst' in his managerial career.
