A few days ago Mexico gave the red card to Hugo
Sanchez.
Sanchez received his marching orders because Mexico failed to qualify for
the Beijing Olympics. Mexico were knocked out in the first stage of the
CONCACAF qualifying tournament after finishing third behind
Canada and Guatemala in their group. In retrospect, maybe Mexico can thankful they didn't run into the Hondurans.
The decision had been taken by a meeting of
the Mexican 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.
With the 2010 World Cup
qualifying campaign only three months away, the Mexican Football Federation president
Justino Compean feared risking further failure. "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."
Yes we can.
Yes we can.
