André Jardine leaves América for Shabab Al-Ahli

André Jardine has left América to take over at Shabab Al-Ahli in the UAE, the club confirmed on Wednesday (1). He is the most successful manager in América's history, and his exit lands while Mexico are co-hosting a World Cup, jarring timing for fans who saw him as the domestic benchmark. Jardine said he felt it was the right moment for a new market, a new culture, and to grow by learning other languages (1). No replacement has been named.
