Mexico failed to make it past the group stage of the 2015 Copa América, only attaining two draws and one loss. On 26 July 2015, Mexico won the CONCACAF Gold Cup after defeating Jamaica 3–1 in the final. Two days later, Herrera was released as coach of the Mexico national team after an alleged physical altercation with TV Azteca announcer Christian Martinoli – who had been critical of Herrera – while the two waited in the TSA line at the Philadelphia International Airport.
