Club America Fires Miguel Herrera After Disgraceful CCL Exit

Miguel Herrera's final act as Club America manager wound up being sitting in the stands in Orlando, ejected from a match but evidently not from the premises, communicating via walkie-talkie as his side crashed out of the Concacaf Champions League.

Herrera was ousted by the Liga MX power on Monday, a couple of days after America's 3-1, histrionic-laden defeat to LAFC. In the match, LAFC's Eduard Atuesta was red carded for appearing to headbutt America goalkeeper Guillermo Ochoa, who had gotten in his face after Atuesta had appeared to be fouled in the box, only for no penalty to be called.
