The regular season Apertura 2014 was much more successful from the start with Club America holding the 1st place lead throughout the season. Turco continued to struggle winning any of the big 3 derbies during the regular season. Mohamed's laid back style of managing the team caused friction with the administrative staff. These instances usually involved long weekend getaways to support the Argentina National Football Team at the 2014 FIFA World Cup Final, going to Europe for an all-star "peace match" for the Pope among other circumstances. Going into the liguilla America's form had dropped significantly and many analyst did not see America making it past the first round. Tensions rose dramatically once America advanced to semifinals after a nail biter quarterfinal against Pumas. A few days before America's first leg semi final match against Monterrey, Mohamed dismissed club co-captain Paul Aguilar after an undisclosed serious matter that occurred in the locker room. During that week the entire press had multiple sources saying that Mohamed would no longer continue at the club regardless of the playoff result. The club morale was in even more shock once notable Club America players Luis Angel Mendoza and Jesus Molina had also been confirmed to be transferring teams, before playoffs had ever ended. Mohamed would continue to go into the final in the most professional manner, while only confirming that he would no longer continue the day before the 2nd leg of the final. Mohamed would go on to graciously manage America to win their 12th title, making America the most successful club in Mexican league football. A notable paraphrase that Mohamed said at his final interviews was "I will leave them (Club América) the cup, but I am taking my dignity."
