After Pumas lost the Clausura 2026 final to Cruz Azul, Efraín Juárez's representative stated that the coach will remain at the club due to an active contract.
David Baldwin, Efraín Juárez's representative, posted on his X account that the coach will not leave Pumas. “We have a contract and we will fulfill it, unless we are told otherwise,” he wrote.
The message responded to rumors that emerged after Sunday's final at the Estadio Olímpico Universitario. Some reports indicated that Juárez planned to move to Europe, possibly Belgium.
Other reports, such as those from David Faitelson and ESPN, stated that Juárez remains with the club and is planning preseason. Pumas president Luis Raúl González did not mention the coach in his post-defeat message.
