      Sven Sacked By Mexico

      Sven sacked as Mexico boss

      Sven Goran Eriksson's reign as Mexico boss has come to an end after less than a year.

      Directors from the Mexican Football Federation (FMF) were set to discuss Eriksson's future at a meeting on Friday but later decided to hold a press conference on Thursday.

      The FMF has decided to take swift action following Mexico's disappointing 3-1 defeat to Honduras in midweek.

      Mexico have won all their home games under Eriksson but have been in miserable form on their travels and are struggling in the CONCACAF World Cup qualifying section.

      They are currently outside the top three and if they finish in their current position of fourth they will face a play-off against the fifth team from South America.

      The FMF will hope a new coach can revive Mexico's fortunes and steer them to next summer's tournament in South Africa.

      Former England coach Eriksson only took charge of Mexico when he succeeded Hugo Sanchez last June.

      The Swede, who parted company with Manchester City at the end of last season, was heavily linked with the manager's job at Portsmouth following Tony Adams' dismissal in February.

      When Mexico played the USA a couple of months ago that was the worst Mexican side I have ever seen. They seem to go away from their style of play and try something different with players who are not able to play a certain way.

      I agree, I think they would be much more of a force in the Premiership than their current manager. He knows how to get talent when he has loads of cash to burn (look under Lazio). I always thought he was a good manager, not top level manager. I know a lot of people here would be quite bitter about his time in England and not getting pass the QF but honestly the teams he had was pretty was that level in international football.

      The issue is Mexican football is a completely different culture than in Europe, they do things differently and they play their own certain way. Sven simply couldn't deal with it and besides the Mexican media and many supporters were critical of him even before he was hired because of the fact he isn't Mexican.

      Hahahaha!

      I hated him at England. He had his clear favourites and wasn't prepared to try anything new. Not to mention took us nowhere.
