The Mexican team had just completed an impressive win over Jamaica in the Gold Cup finals despite limping into the game behind questionable calls.

“Our values, our principles, are above any result”, he added.

“Matches never finish, and as public figures we have to keep that in mind”.

Herrera, whose emotional outbursts have inspired popular Internet memes, characterized the airport run-in as a “painful incident”, and went on to apologize for his behavior while accepting the federation’s decision.

Miguel Herrera has been sacked by Mexico just two days after guiding the country to Gold Cup glory.

“Luis I tried to calm, while the daughter pushed me and screamed that it was me in the security line threatened me, challenged me to death several times and said”.

If you haven’t heard the name by now, you will remember Mark Geiger as the official whose “human error” likely cost Panama a spot in the Gold Cup final.

The FMF now must replace Herrera, who also had salvaged Mexico’s 2014 Federation Internationale de Football Association World Cup qualification campaign and led “El Tri” to the Round of 16 at last summer’s tournament.

The incident involving the coach and Television Azteca’s Christian Martinoli took place Monday at the Philadelphia airport as the team prepared to return to Mexico following its 3-1 victory over Jamaica in the championship match. Then a report clams that Herrera told Martinoli that they should go outside the terminal and fight some more, “to fix this like it should be fixed”. “No one can be above the type of situation we saw on Monday at the Philadelphia airport”.

Miguel Herrera is out as manager of the Mexican national team after a confrontation where it’s alleged he punched a television reporter. ESPN FC announced the move, after a press conference was held regarding the matter.

To make things worse, Herrera had been heavily criticized before arriving at the tournament in the United States because of disappointing performances at the Copa America in Chile. Herrera’s job was already in question leading up to the Final and he threw away whatever goodwill may have been recovered with the win.

A man of a strong character who had already shown his temperament as a player, he became known for the way he celebrated Mexico’s goals.
