New San Jose Earthquakes manager Matias Almeyda was not interviewed for the vacant Mexico national team job and the former Chivas coach believes the Mexican federation (FMF) simply didn't like his style.
The FMF has talked to at least 24 potential candidates since Juan Carlos Osorio announced he wouldn't be continuing in July, but Almeyda -- who won four major trophies with all-Mexican side Chivas -- wasn't one of them.
"I was number 30 or 35 [on the list], further down," joked Almeyda on ESPN's Futbol Picante. "I think it is a question of tastes and it was clear they didn't like me.
