Fentanes' predecessor Jose Luis Sanchez quit after Ricardo Henaine bought rival Francisco Bernat's 51 percent share to take a 94.6 percent stake in the club.
"I love this club and my players deeply but the hatred I feel for Ricardo Henaine is greater, that's why I'm stepping down," Sanchez told reporters when he quit.
Fentanes, who was former Mexico coach Ricardo La Volpe's assistant at the 2006 World Cup in Germany, had been Sanchez's right hand man since 2007.
