The Mexican Soccer Federation is once again in need of a new national team skipper. On Monday, the organization announced that manager Diego Cocca has been fired.
That's a very friendly message about a distinctly unfriendly situation. Cocca's sacking comes several days after Mexico's loss to the USMNT, a humiliating 3-0 defeat in the semifinals of the CONCACAF Nations League. Mexico finished third overall, beating Panama 1-0, while the U.S. won it all after defeating Canada 2-0 on Sunday.
Cocca hadn't been in his position very long. He'd been manager for just five months — all of seven matches — before he was fired. He was the replacement for Tata Martino, who was essentially fired by the Mexican Soccer Federation after crashing out of the group stage at the 2022 FIFA World Cup.
