Cruz Azul sees first squad exit ahead of 2026 Clausura title push
Cruz Azul reshapes its roster for the 2026 Clausura campaign as Joel Huiqui takes over as coach and midfielder Gonzalo Piovi is set to depart. New head coach Joel Huiqui aims to elevate the squad after securing the Apertura title.
Gonzalo Piovi's departure could leave a gap in midfield and may see him move to MLS. The club's hierarchy is accelerating roster updates during the summer to preserve the bid for a back‑to‑back championship.
Cruz Azul hopes these changes will boost its competitiveness in both the league and CONCACAF tournaments.
