Mexico Win the Gold Cup; Sack Manager

Mexican National football authorities have sacked coach Miguel Herrera two days after his side won the 2015 Gold Cup.

Mexico has won a record seventh Gold Cup. They celebrated by sacking their excitable manager Miguel Herrera after he punched a reporter at Philadelphia airport.

I remember a lot of things from the 2014 FIFA World Cup in Brazil: the women mainly, the diving, the woeful performances from England, and a little fella called Miguel Herrera showing unbridled passion on the sidelines, as his Mexican team made it through to the second round before being edged out by the third place finishers Holland.

Herrera managed the Mexican national side on 36 occasions since his appointment in Oct 2013. Under his tutelage his sides achieved a 52% success rate. He is said to be bitterly disappointed with the way he has bowed out.
