Farewell Tuca! Ferretti's interim spell with Mexico comes to an end, and not a minute too soon

The Tigres manager belongs with his club, not with El Tri where he lost five out of six matches during his interim stint

It's over. Ricardo "Tuca" Ferretti has coached his final match as Mexico interim manager, falling to Argentina 2-0 to put an end to a tenure that has not lived up to the high hopes El Tri fans had when it started.

The numbers are harsh. Of six matches Ferretti oversaw, Mexico lost five. El Tri were outscored 12-4, failing to score at all in four of the contests.

They don't tell the whole story, though.
