Tomas Boy, who took over the reins of a struggling Morelia side in Jornada 7, was awarded with a contract extension by the club's directors after the apparent improvement in the team's function.

“The Monarcas Morelia board of directors would like to inform that head coach Tomas Boy will remain at the helm of the team for two more tournaments: Apertura 2009 and Clausura 2010. Thanks to his work, in the Clausura 2009, Tomas Boy has managed a notable improvement in the squad which was reflected in the team’s results. He also gave opportunities to young players like Jorge Gastelum who won a spot in the starting 11,” informed the Morelia press release.
