Rueda out as Colombia coach after failing to reach World Cup
Colombia have removed Reinaldo Rueda as coach of the national team following their failure to qualify for the World Cup, the football federation announced on Monday. The "Cafeteros" failed to qualify for the global extravaganza for the first time since 2010 following a disastrous campaign in which they set a national record of seven straight matches without scoring a goal. It was the second time Rueda, a Colombian, had failed to guide his country to a World Cup having also missed out in 2006 during a previous two-year stint in charge.
