Chivas name Tomas Boy manager

A familiar face to Liga MX fans will take over at Chivas with the club announcing Tomas Boy as its new manager.

Boy replaces Jose Cardozo, who was fired last week after a five-match winless run in league play and Copa MX elimination to rival America.

The new manager has held various coaching gigs in Mexico since 1989 but notably has never won a major trophy with a SuperLiga crown with Morelia the only silverware he can boast of. The legendary Guadalajara club hopes that can change this time around.

"After a deep period of analysis of what the team requires at the moment to turn around both mentally and in the sporting aspect that will immediately help us rebound in the tournament, Club Deportivo Guadalajara makes known that from today Tomas Boy is the coach of the first team," a statement read.
