[Folami David]

Victor Vucetich, sacked as coach of club side Monterrey last month, was put in charge of World Cup strugglers Mexico on Thursday.
.
Jose Manuel 'Chepo' de la Torre was dismissed on Saturday, one day after a 2-1 home defeat by Honduras in World Cup Concacaf qualifying.
.
Replacement Luis Fernando Tena then stepped down after Mexico lost their next qualifier, 2-0 to the United States, in Columbus on Tuesday.
.
"It's the most important challenge of my career ... hopefully the hot potato turns into gold," Vucetich told reporters.
.
Mexico are in deep trouble in fifth place in the group, level on points with fourth-placed Panama and with only a slim chance of making the top three automatic qualifying spots.
.
The US and Costa Rica have already booked their tickets for the 2014 finals in Brazil.
.
Vucetich, 58, is Monterrey's most successful coach, having led the team from northern Mexico to the last three Concacaf Champions League titles.
.
He also helped the club to two of their four domestic league crowns and has had spells in charge of Neza, Leon, Estudiantes Tecos, Tigres de la UANL, Cruz Azul and Pachuca.
.
Next up for Vucetich's Mexico will be a home game against Panama on October 11. Four days later they travel to Costa Rica for their last qualifier.
.
The team that finishes fourth in the group will take on Oceania winners New Zealand in a playoff for a place in Brazil.

I do think Mexico needed that. All the caoch has to do now is go back to the drawing board and correct mistakes!
