In Toluca, a short spell on the women’s bench has ended before the Clausura 2026 reaches its decisive stretch. Alberto Toril has left Toluca by mutual agreement, with the Mexican club citing personal reasons after nine matches in charge.
Key takeaways
- The 53-year-old Spanish coach departs after Toluca’s first 10 rounds of the Clausura 2026.
- Toluca’s women, known as Las Diablas, sit third in their group and remain in contention for the liguilla.
- Toril arrived at the club in June.
- The former Real Madrid coach leaves alongside his technical staff.
- Toluca plans to name a replacement in the coming days.
A sudden change in a promising campaign
The Córdoba-born coach had taken charge only months ago, but his time in central Mexico has concluded after nine fixtures. Toluca confirmed that the separation was agreed by both parties and linked the decision to personal circumstances.
The timing comes with the club still well placed in the Clausura. After 10 matchdays, Las Diablas are third in their section and retain a realistic route into the liguilla, Mexico’s end-of-season knockout phase.
Club prepares to appoint successor
In its statement, Toluca thanked Toril and his staff for the work carried out during their period in charge. The club did not identify an immediate successor, but said it would announce the new coach in the days ahead.
Toril’s departure closes a brief chapter for a coach whose previous career included work at Real Madrid, leaving Toluca to continue its push for the playoffs under new leadership.
