With 2010 World Cup qualifying matches coming soon, the Mexican federation committee felt that Sanchez needed to go ASAP:
Sanchez’s failure to do more with the talent he had, and his inability to best arch rival the United States, led to his dismissal.
“We want leaders; we cannot accept another failure, another Olympic failure,” said Justino Compeán, the Mexican federation president. “If that was difficult, could you imagine if Mexico didn’t make it to South Africa?”
Somewhere out there Ricardo LaVolpe is laughing himself silly.
