But then few people involved in Saturday's CONCACAF Cup playoff have less at stake than Ferretti, an interim coach who will step down next week regardless of what happens against the U.S. in a sold-out Rose Bowl.
"If we win, they're going to want me to stay. If I lose, they're going to want me to leave," Ferretti said with a laugh.
