After 12 years of absence, Atlante will return to Liga MX. “Los Potros de Hierro” return to the first division by acquiring the affiliation certificate that belonged to Mazatlán FC. Atlante will have to reinforce itself and Christian “Hobbit” Bermúdez does not take a dim view of Chicharito’s arrival to the team.
“I am very excited, although I always wanted to return to the first division, This opportunity came up, so I’m not going to waste it, I’m going to prepare very well.”Bermúdez said in statements compiled by Mediotiempo.
The Atlante has already made its first moves in the market. The most popular was the acquisition of Miguel Herrera as its technical director. After the announcement of “Piojo”, rumors have exploded about possible new signings that will strengthen the club. One of them is that of Javier Hernandez. Christian Bermúdez does not take a dim view of this acquisition.

“I don’t know how I’m physically prepared.in the end it has had no activity. We know about Chicharito’s abilityin the Chivas games I saw little, but we know that he is a very intelligent playerwhere if you know how to take advantage of it. If you know how to give him good passes, he will make them“Bermudez said.
Chicharito has not played an official match since November 2025. Javier Hernández had very little prominence in Gabriel Milito’s Chivas de Guadalajara. Since then, in all of 2026, Hernández has not played a single official match.
Although his latest record is not good, Javier Hernández is a highly ranked player in Mexican soccer. Chicharito played in clubs of the stature of Staunch Madrid, Manchester United, Sevilla, West Ham, Bayer Leverkusenamong others. The experience that Hernández can bring to the clubhouse is not in discussion.
“It would be something interestingWell, I don’t know what’s going to happen, there’s no need to decide Chicharito’s hierarchy. I also know him personally, he is a great human being.“added Bermúdez.
The dark return of Chicharito
Javier Hernández returned to Chivas de Guadalajara for Clausura 2024. Since then Chicharito played 4 tournaments with the Rebaño Sagrado. The former Staunch Madrid player played 41 games (just over 1,100 minutes on the field), in which he was able to score 4 goals and grant 1 assist.
