Carlos Salcido announces departure from Chivas, blames coaching staff

Carlos Salcido, historic Chivas and Mexico National team defender, announced his departure from Chivas. While the departure was expected and everybody knew his performance in the Club World Cup was going to be his last appearance with the club, his farewell press conference revealed a few surprises. The biggest take was blaming coach Jose “Saturnino” Cardozo and his staff for pushing him out and forcing him to leave. Salcido said that he was leaving because of fighting with Cardozo, and that the staff didn’t tell him that he was no longer in plans but subtlety pushed him out.
