Ricardo Ferretti Named Interim Mexico Coach

Mexico's national team has found its coach, at least for the moment.

Brazilian Ricardo Ferretti, who manages Tigres in Liga MX and once said he would rather be a street sweeper than the coach of the Mexico national team, has been named the interim coach of the Mexico national team.

Ferretti has agreed to manage Mexico for a maximum of four games, according to FOX Sports. Contract details have not been finalized and will be released next week, FOX Sports reported.

Mexico has a Set. 4 friendly against Trinidad & Tobago, a Sept. 8 friendly against Argentina and the Oct. 10 Confederations Cup playoff against the United States, the latter being the most important Mexico game Ferretti will manage for Mexico should he not become the permanent coach.
