🕊️ Peace at Chivas: Milito's gesture towards Sepúlveda in pre-season

Chivas de Guadalajara remains firm in its preparations on Isla Navidad, with its eyes focused on the Apertura 2026 Tournament. Amid traditional market speculation, Argentine coach Gabriel Milito stood out in a scene that dispelled the uncertainty about Gilberto Sepúlveda's future. The defender, who went through the red and white team's academy, saw his importance diminish since the coach's arrival at the helm of the team, having played just 472 minutes in the last year of Liga MX. This situation fueled a wave of rumors that placed him outside the club next season.


However, Chivas TV cameras captured a moment of true closeness between the two on the edge of the pitch. Milito spoke to “Tiba” in a personal interaction, touching her chest affectionately and ending the exchange with a firm handshake and a pat on the back, reflecting a very fraternal connection. Although no official details of the conversation emerged, the gesture shows the more human side of the demanding coach. The conversation suggests that, even with the transfer rumors and his current role as a reserve, Sepúlveda still remains in Milito's plans for the challenging sporting commitments of the 2026 season.
