Mexico soccer coach Javier Aguirre injured after being hit in head by apparent beer can that was thrown from the stands

Mexican national team coach Javier Aguirre sustained a head injury after being hit by an object at the end of a Nations League quarterfinal match against Honduras on Friday.At the end of the game that Mexico lost 2-0 in San Pedro Sula, Honduras, Aguirre walked up to greet Colombian coach Reinaldo Rueda when he was struck by an object, apparently a beer can that cut him and caused his head to bleed.“Nothing it is just soccer, the game was hard fought, and they played better,” Aguirre said at a media conference at the end of the match.“Regarding the other (the incident), there’s no need to mention it, I’m not one who complains, it is just soccer, nothing happened.”The 65-year-old Aguirre is in this third stint at the helm of the Mexican national team.

He took over last August, replacing Jaime Lozano, who was fired after a first-round elimination in Copa America.“I’m sad for what happened at the end of the match, because he is a human being,” said Rueda.“I want to apologize to the Mexican people and to Aguirre, this cannot happen.”Mexico will host Honduras next Tuesday in the second leg of their quarterfinal series....
