Another great step for MLS
Yes - the MLS has arrived. And the Mexican teams aren’t happy about it.
Guadalajara fired manager Jose Manuel de la Torre on Friday with the club mired in fourth place in its Mexican league group and two days after it lost to U.S. club D.C. United in the Copa Sudamericana.Efrain Flores, who worked for the Chivas as a coordinator for the development teams, will replace de la Torre.
Team vice president Nestor de la Torre and general director Juan Frangie said de la Torre was dismissed because of differences of opinion, the team’s poor performance recently and a drop in attendance.
“Chivas are 101 years old,” Frangie said. “We have a very solid structure in place, and this will continue. We’re sad to see the coach go, but this will not stop the Chivas. We’ll be champions.”
Of course DC United still has to play the second leg in Guadalajara which, at least in the CONCACAF Champions Cup matches, has been the death knell. But one can dare to dream!
