Why do u care? Seriously, and it was our U-23 team btw, that plus the ref left us with 9 men and Guatemala is by far one of the dirtiest teams in CONCACAF.

Mexico fire coach Sanchez after just 16 months

MEXICO CITY, April 1 (Reuters) - Mexico fired coach Hugo Sanchez on Monday after only 16 months in the job, the Mexico Football Federation (FMF) said.

The former Real Madrid striker, widely regarded as the finest player Mexico has produced, was sacked two weeks after the under-23 team, which he also coaches, failed to qualify for the Beijing Olympics.

The FMF said the decision had been taken by a meeting of the federation's executive committee, which is made up of the presidents of the 18 first division clubs.

'By a unanimous decision, the contractual relationship with the technical staff of the national team has been ended,' FMF general secretary Decio de Maria told a news conference.

De Maria said that Jesus Ramirez, who coached the Mexico team which won the World Under-17 championship in Peru in 2005, would take over on an interim basis for next month's friendly against China in the United States.

Mexican media have identified a list of possible long-term replacements, including Brazilian Luiz Felipe Scolari, currently with Portugal, Argentine Jose Pekerman and Italy's 2006 World Cup winning coach Marcelo Lippi.

Sanchez, appointed in November 2006 after lobbying intensively for the job for years, was in charge for 23 full internationals, winning 12, drawing three and losing eight.

However, it was the Olympic team's failure which proved his downfall as Mexico were knocked out in the first stage of the CONCACAF qualifying tournament after finishing third behind Canada and Guatemala in their group.

With Mexico's first matches in the 2010 World Cup qualifying competition only three months away, FMF president Justino Compean said he did not want to risk any more failures.

'We want winners and leaders, we cannot accept another failure,' he said. 'If you thought this was difficult, can you imagine Mexico not being in South Africa.'

Even before the Olympic debacle, Sanchez had been under fire following the full international side's performance at the CONCACAF Gold Cup last year.

Despite reaching the final, where they lost 2-1 to hosts United States, Mexico struggled to one-goal wins over Cuba, Panama and Guadeloupe and lost to Honduras.

They produced a much-improved performance at the Copa America in Venezuela shortly afterwards, beating Brazil 2-0 and thumping Paraguay 6-0 on their way to the semi-finals where they lost to a Lionel Messi-inspired Argentina.

As a player, Sanchez finished as top-scorer in the Spanish league five times -- four of them with Real Madrid -- and played at the 1978, 1986 and 1994 World Cups.

He was famous for his somersaulting goal celebrations.

As a coach, he won two successive Mexican titles with Pumas UNAM but, even then, had alienated many people with his outspoken comments.

I still remember when he would take every chance to criticize the previous coach for every little thing that went wrong, because he wanted the job.. Now he finds, out first hand that its not as easy as it looks.

OFFICIAL SVEN GORAN ERIKSSON has been named MEXICO'S NEW COACH.....

 

[MaestroZidane]

I hear that not to many players are too happy about this move, specially Borgetti.... I would tell them to give the guy a chance

 

[Chacarita Juniors]

Recently some of those players who criticized the signing of Sven have changed to the opinion that it was just the wrong time not that it was the wrong person. I don't get it.

Mr. Sven has visited many of the clubs to drench himself in person with information about individual players he's considering for a call-up, something HEGO never did. I heard reports that he's been watching videos like crazy, he's seen the performances in the WC, as well as the rescent Copa America.

ME LIKE VERY MUCHO what the man is doing, I bet he's even learned the basic Spanish to communicate with players (probably all the cuss words too) . A huge help he's going to need and has is the assistance of Paco Ramirez, the assistant for Lavolpe in the WC. Most experts say he (Paco) knows better than anyone all the players considered for call-ups.

My time is up...I'll continue with this later.

Hugo game and interview to ESPN yesterday. He talked about everything and even criticized Sven but didn't say anything about his "fracaso". Hugo thinks he is god. He's a douche.
