Reaching the century mark calls for celebration for the Aguilas of Club America, and after falling short of reaching the Clausura 2016 finals on a 4-3 aggregate result versus the Rayados, the Aguilas won't settle for anything else than a championship.
Although it fell short of reaching the finals, the upcoming season bodes well for America and its manager, Nacho Ambriz. The signing of Ambriz to lead the team met criticism at the start of the previous season after America parted ways from Gustavo Matosas after just one season at the close of Apertura 2015. Last season, Ambriz responded to the criticism by delivering a CONCACAF Champions League title, beating out bitter rival Chivas on two occasions, and reaching the Liga MX semifinals.
