Pumas and new coach Francisco Palencia are set for a very difficult season.
A new season brings a lot of new changes in Pumas, but most of them are not positive in the least. Jorge Borja's tenure as Pumas President ended after last season, leaving Rodrigo Ares de Parga's tenure to begin in tumultuous fashion. News came that there were severe money problems and the terrible elimination from Copa Libertadores against Independiente del Valle (widely considered one of the worst losses in recent times) emboldened the board to part ways with Guillermo Vasquez as coach after he took exception to the lack of additions that were planned.
