The Mexico Football Federation has fired national team coach Sven-Goran Eriksson only 10 months into the job after a series of dreadful results.
The chair under the Swede shook after Mexico’s embarrassing 3-1 defeat in Honduras in a World Cup qualifier on Wednesday, which put the whole campaign at risk.
Mexico now stands fourth in CONCACAF (the Confederation of North, Central American and Caribbean Association Football) World Cup qualifiers with three points from three games, below leaders United States (seven points), Costa Rica (six) and Honduras (four).
Eriksson’s overall record with Mexico, including friendlies, was six wins, one draw and six defeats. Under his leadership Mexico played five competitive away games, losing four and drawing one.
According to Reuters news agency, the 61-year-old Swede, who managed England from 2001 until 2006 before guiding Manchester City to ninth place last season, may soon move back to England.
