Return of La Volpe? Mexico must hire a manager some time soon

The 63-year-old might not be the best manager for the job, but El Tri need direction now, writes Jon Arnold.

Federacion Mexicana de Futbol (FMF) officials did plenty of talking Monday, but they didn't name a coach. The reports say they'll do just that Wednesday, though they've been wrong plenty of times before. But if they do, it won't be a moment too soon.

Mexico has important friendly matches coming up against Trinidad and Tobago and Argentina and then a vital playoff against the U.S. with a trip to the 2017 Confederations Cup on the line. And without a coach, the FMF will call in the team for September friendlies.
