Mexico boss announces he's lost his job after "massive failure" at World Cup 2022

Gerardo Martino confirmed his reign as Mexico head coach was over following their World Cup exit.

Mexico’s 2-1 win over Saudi Arabia was not enough to secure a round-of-16 spot as Poland finished second behind Argentina in Group C on goal difference.
