Yet another coach is out at Chivas Guadalajara, with Efrain Flores the latest of eight to lose his job since upstart owner Jorge Vergara bought the team in 2002. His crime? Losing three consecutive games in the Mexican First Division.

Since new ownership took over, Mexico's most popular team has won just one of a possible 13 championships in that span, dismissing the likes of Xavier Azkargorta, Eduardo de la Torre, Jose Manuel de la Torre, Benjamin Galindo, Daniel Guzman and Hans Westerhof (twice) along the way.
