Pizarro hints Gignac's Tigres farewell set for Concachampions final

May 23, 2026

André-Pierre Gignac may be playing his final match in a Tigres shirt on May 30, when the club contests the Concachampions final. Captain Guido Pizarro let slip the hint, telling reporters that the French striker will play his last game for the club that day (1). The 39-year-old has been the defining figure of Tigres' modern era since arriving in 2015, rewriting the club's record books and delivering multiple trophies. Nothing is official yet, but Pizarro's comment lands with the weight of a goodbye.
