MIAMI, Florida – The tenure of Ricardo Ferretti as Head Coach of Liga MX side Tigres UANL came to an end over the weekend with Tigres falling 1-0 to Atlas in the first round of the Liga MX Clausura Liguilla.
It marks the end of a memorable 11-year tenure for the Brazilian manager at the helm of the Monterrey club, who thanked the 67-year-old coach across its various social media channels on Monday.
Under the guidance of Ferretti, Tigres won their first Scotiabank Concacaf Champions League title last December in the completion of the 2020 SCCL in Orlando, Florida.
Ferretti’s Tigres then became the first Concacaf team to reach the Final of a FIFA Club World Cup, narrowly losing the Final to reigning European champions Bayern Munich, 1-0.
Ferretti also led Tigres to SCCL Final appearances in 2015-16, 2016-17 and 2019.
Ferretti has been the Head Coach of every single Tigres match in the SCCL, managing the Mexican club in 44 SCCL matches, with 24 wins, 10 draws and just 10 defeats.
As a player, Ferretti also excelled in Concacaf, winning the Concacaf Champions Cup in 1980 and 1982 as a member of Pumas.
Ferretti also won five Liga MX titles with Tigres, the 2011 Apertura, 2015 Apertura, 2016 Apertura, 2017 Apertura and the 2019 Clausura.
