Andrés Guardado, one of Mexico's most iconic footballers, has announced his retirement after a distinguished 19-year career, with his final match scheduled against Monterrey on November 10. Known affectionately as 'El Principito', Guardado expressed his gratitude to his family, former clubs, and supporters in an emotional farewell video shared on social media. With 182 caps, he is the most capped player in Mexican national team history and has participated in five World Cups. After returning to Liga MX with León in January 2024, he hopes to help the team qualify for the playoffs, but if not, the upcoming match will mark his professional conclusion. Following his retirement, Guardado is expected to join the coaching staff of the Mexican National Team, contributing his vast experience to future generations. His departure leaves a significant legacy in Mexican football as he transitions from player to mentor.
