The need for short-term results makes times shorter for technical directors in Mexican football. On several occasions it has been the case that a strategist is fired for spinning a negative streak and projects are cut short. However, Santos Laguna has a different intention with Guillermo Almada.

This was revealed by President Albiverde Dante Elizalde in an interview with Mediotiempo, who assured that there is no forced deadline for the bond to expire Almada, Who can be indefinitely.
“Guillermo has a long – term project, we intend it to go hand in hand with Santos Laguna for an indefinite period of time and this is agreed in his contract. There is no clause that binds us to a forced term, but there is no one that forces us to do the opposite.“Then we have a relationship without a fixed term, always looking at the long term, giving certainty to the project by providing these guarantees so that your football idea can be developed,” he said.
The document also has a peculiarity and is that Guillermo is not ‘tied’ to the Warriors with this contract, As he can leave the institution at any time he wants without having to pay any clause or any time for penalty.
“This contractual relationship is based on trust, clarity and at the time you determine that your term has expired in this organization he could leave without any penalty, Without any situation. The relationship is clear, close and the previous opportunities that have arisen for it to come out have been talked about with this clarity and Guillermo is firm in Santos Laguna because he has the opportunity in this organization to develop his whole idea and today he is very happy, ”he added.
The strategist charrúa already had the opportunity to leave the club albiverde, since last year they looked for him from the Ecuador selection, But he decided to stay with the club that brought him to Mexican football.
