Atlas finished 5-9-3 this season, well out of playoff contention. The club was expected to contend as Lavolpe's first season on the job featured a 5-0-4 record during a nine-game stretch.

Club President Martin Del Campo declined to talk to reporters following Monday's meeting.

For his part, Lavolpe will have to receive the news of his job permanency over the phone. Lavolpe reportedly left for Europe on holiday on Monday.
