The midfielder departs Pachuca and begins a fresh chapter with Guadalajara, marking his third spell in the club’s shirt.
Victor Guzmán’s arrival is the headline move of the Closure 2023 window. The player is leaving the defending MX champion to join Chivas, entering a new phase in his career with the team often referred to as the Sacred Flock.
El Pocho has long been part of Guadalajara’s fabric, having joined the club’s youth ranks in 2009 and making his professional debut in 2015 before a transfer to Pachuca later that year. Five years onward, he returned to the Guadalajara setup, but a later doping-related issue interrupted his tenure, prompting the board to end the association and Guzmán to return to Pachuca.
After triumphing in the Apertura 2022, the 27-year-old midfielder reaffirms his path with the village club, now under the guidance of the new sporting project led by Fernando Hierro and Veljko Paunovic. The aim is clear: restore the team’s standing in Mexican football and shape a competitive rhythm for the seasons ahead.
