This happened even though the team recently introduced a new head coach.

The losses came during the Apertura 2026 tournament of Liga MX, Mexico's top football league.

Juárez's latest match was against Pachuca, another Liga MX team.

Despite the coaching change, the new manager could not stop the losing streak.

Liga MX continues with its Apertura 2026 season, and Juárez will hope to end its losing run soon.
