Javier Chicharito Hernández’s second stint with Chivas Guadalajara, which began in January 2024, has been marked by continuous injuries, few opportunities on the field and growing rumors of retirement.
His return, full of hope, now faces clear signs of a final chapter in his professional career.
The difficult return to Chivas
Since his arrival at the Rebaño, Chicharito has scored just two goals in official matches:
One in Liga MX and another in the Concacaf Champions Cup, where he ended a goal drought of more than a year and raised hopes.
However, the overall picture is bleaker:
He has accumulated at least 10 injuries in just over 18 months, a figure that exceeds his playing minutes.

Rumors and signs of farewell
Sources close to Chivas indicate that 2025 could be Chicharito’s last year as a red-and-white player.
Since his contract expires in the middle of that year and the board does not contemplate a renewal.
In addition, recent internal sanctions and his stance on social media have further deteriorated his situation at the club.
Thinking about retirement?
Buzzy
According to media outlets such as W Deportes, Chicharito Hernández’s entourage considers retirement as an increasingly tangible option.
His focus has shifted to other projects off the field, which rather than helping the team, is causing concern among the board and the fans.
Impact on U.S. Hispanic fans.
Failed reunion: Chicharito is a Mexican idol rooted in the U.S.; his injuries and underperformance have been disappointing.
End announced: 2025 is key: it could mark the end of an era that was exciting, but irregular.
Support and memory: His legacy as the Mexican national team’s all-time leading scorer will remain, regardless of how his career with Chivas ends.
