U20 Coach Luis Perez and Sporting Director of the National Teams, Gerardo Torrado and Ignacio Hierro were all fired while incredibly, Women’s Mexico National Team Coach Monica Vergara was not fired but was deemed to be under “evaluation” while the new director members, expected to be named at most in two weeks, would make the final decision on her job.
