The 2021–22 season was F.C. Motagua's 75th season in existence and the club's 56th consecutive season in the top fight of Honduran football. In addition to the domestic league, the club also competed in the 2021 CONCACAF League and the 2022 CONCACAF Champions League.[1][2]

Overview

Coach Diego Vásquez renewed his contract for one year and lead the team for his 16th consecutive tournament.[3][4] Due to poor results in both domestic and international fronts, he was sacked during the Clausura tournament. He broke a league record of 350 consecutive games as manager. He was temporarily recplaced by interim coach and former star César Obando and subsequently by Argentinian manager Hernán Medina, who managed to win the Clausura title.[5]
