Ding-Dong, Hugo’s Gone
Well, it’s official. Hugo Sanchez is no longer the NT Manager as of today.
After much speculation it is finally over and Mr. Sanchez is out of a job. 16 months in power and Hugo failed to do much of what he promised with a great bunch of players. He promised us titles(we have none), and an Olympic medal and now we only have to focus on qualifying for WC 2010.
The decision was made unanimously by all first division club owners. As to further reasoning to why he was fired the FMF president, Justin Compean, said:
“We want winners and leaders, we cannot accept another failure,” said Justin Compean, president of the Mexican federation.
If you thought this was difficult, can you imagine Mexico not being in South Africa?”
He has a point. Mexico not qualifying for WC 2010 would be comparable to England not being at this years Euro’s. Mexican fans are known to follow the team wherever they go and not qualifying would be a devastating loss not just economically but mentally.
But for now we have Jesus Ramirez, who was named as a possible replacement in earlier weeks, as an interim manager. Maybe he can guide the same more mature players he led to a U-17 World Cup to victory once again.
