Miguel Herrera is out as manager of the Mexican national team a day after a reported confrontation in which he allegedly punched a television reporter.
ESPN FC reported the move Tuesday, after the Mexican Football Federation held a meeting regarding the matter. The firing comes just two days after El Tri defeated Jamaica to win the Gold Cup championship.
John Sutcliffe of ESPN initially confirmed the Mexican Football Federation made the decision to let Herrera go as a result of the incident.
A report from ESPN FC stated that Christian Martinoli of TV Azteca accused Herrera, 47, of an assault while at the airport following Mexico's triumph in Philadelphia.
