Rafael Lebrija arrives to restore order in Chivas

Chivas search results with urgency. If it was not noticeable with the controversial signing of Raul Arias, the arrival of Rafael Lebrija as sporting director Guadalajara leaves a clear message: we must bring order to the herd. Lebrija is a King Midas of Mexican soccer. During his stay in Toluca, garnered five league championships, and his administration was characterized by a keen eye for quality foreign signing. Examples? Jose Saturnino Cardozo, Antonio Naelson "Sinha", Vicente Sánchez, Martín Romagnoli and Paulo da Silva, only to give the most striking.

The challenge of gamble with Lebrija is pure Mexican. Unable to import talent, the new president should focus on goat quarry work that neither the club nor Lebrija unknown. Undoubtedly, the arrival of former Toluca is the best move of Jorge Vergara in a long time. Lebrija credentials endorse him and lend him a blank check impressive. Sample welcome to the appointment were the cheers that gave him the platform in the game against Pumas.

The draft Chivas reaches a peak. Vergara has put all eggs in one basket. First repatriated Omar Bravo, his last great figure (but with zero results). Then appointed an old salt, Alberto Guerra, as a spearhead to strengthen its board. The signing of Arias made clear the stakes for the good results (even at the cost to the spectacles), and now the appointment of Lebrija shows that Chivas urgently seeks another championship. Let's see how this tournament ends for Guadalajara, but I am sure of one thing: the hand of Lebrija not take long show.
