Liga MX coaching changes continue with Santos Laguna firing Reyes

Santos Laguna became the ninth Liga MX club to fire their head coach this season after the club let Salvador Reyes go on Thursday, meaning exactly half the teams in the league have made coaching changes this year.

Reyes is the second coach in the league to be fired this week, both after heavy defeats in the Concacaf Champions League.

Reyes and his assistant Luis Canay were dismissed after a 3-0 defeat to Tigres in the Concacaf Champions League semifinal on Wednesday.
