Cruz Azul Considers Argentine Coach Eduardo Domínguez as Backup Option

After an inconsistent season, Cruz Azul is actively searching for a new head coach to restore identity and competitiveness. While early talks focused on Guillermo Almada and Nicolás Larcamón, journalist Adrián Esparza Oteo has reported that the club is also considering a surprise candidate: Eduardo Domínguez, currently managing Estudiantes de La Plata.

With a $3.5 million offer already on the table, the club is clearly aiming high. Domínguez, a title-winning coach in both Argentina and Uruguay, has emerged as a strong alternative if negotiations with Almada or Larcamón fall through.

Despite a shaky run with Estudiantes, Domínguez brings valuable experience and a reputation for rebuilding struggling teams. Known for his tactical intensity, high pressing, and trust in young players, he could offer a fresh direction for a Cruz Azul squad short on structure and consistency.

The next few hours may prove decisive. As offers circulate and decisions loom, fans await to see if the club will play it safe with familiar Liga MX names—or take a bold step with an Argentine wild card.
