Just two days after El Tri won its seventh CONCACAF Gold Cup championship, the Mexican National Team’s manager, Miguel Herrera, got the ax.

“The Mexico Football Federation voted on Tuesday to sack coach Miguel Herrera following an alleged incident that took place at Philadelphia International Airport,” ESPNFC reported.

"After listening to all my colleagues who are part of this federation, I have made the decision to take Miguel Herrera off of the national team," said incoming federation president Decio de Maria in a statement on Tuesday. "It is not a simple decision, but it is the correct one.

The decision came a day after a reported confrontation in which Herrera allegedly punched a Mexican television reporter.

TV Azteca reporter Christian Martinoli claims he was attacked by Herrera at the Philadelphia Airport after the win. “Univision Deportes showed cell phone footage of the supposed encounter early Tuesday morning, but there was no smoking gun, no visible proof that Herrera indeed put his hands on Martinoli,” Sports Illustrated reported.
