Miguel Herrera is one of the most colorful coaches in Liga MX. The character and temperament of the “Louse” has allowed him to earn a reputation for love and rejection within the Aztec tournament . However, some of his acts have led him to be expelled from the matches, a fact that translates in difficulties and problems for his team.
The “Louse” comes from being absent of the last game of Tigres de la UANL. The feline group was very close to being eliminated by Cruz Azul and Herrera was not on the bench to try to directly reverse the spirit and strategy of his team.
The reason that prevented him from being in the technical direction area was his last expulsion in the first leg. The veteran strategist went to to rebuke the referee Fernando Hernández and he made the decision to expel him. The annoyance of “Piojo” was generated through the expulsion of his soccer player Nicolás “El Diente” López.
The most punished coach in Mexican soccer
