Sven-Goran Eriksson has been sacked as Mexico boss following Wednesday's World Cup qualifying defeat against Honduras.
Mexico's 3-1 defeat to Honduras was their second in three qualifying matches and left them fourth in their six-team group.
If they stay fourth they will face the fifth-placed team from South America for a place in next year's World Cup.
The former England manager was hired in June following his sacking as Manchester City manager last season.
Pressure on the 61-year-old Swede had been lifted temporarily with a convincing 2-0 win over Costa Rica on Saturday but Wednesday's defeat resulted in his eight month reign being terminated.
Eriksson was linked with a move back to English football in February following Tony Adams' sacking as Portsmouth coach.
