Former Rangers boss Pedro Caixinha has turned down the chance to become Mexico manager.

The Portuguese has resurrected his career with Cruz Azul after his disastrous seven-month spell in charge of the Ladbrokes Premiership club.

He won the Copa MX for only the fourth time in the club's history last month and is battling for their first title in 21 years.

Mexico made an offer to try to persuade him to become their new manager after the departure of Juan Carlos Osorio following this summer's World Cup.

But the former Rangers head coach has made it clear he wants to stay with the Mexico City club and isn't interested in becoming an international manager.

He said: "Become the manager of Mexico? Thanks but no thanks.

"I live for the moment, the here and now and for me it is to be prolonged as much as possible, I am delighted to be at this club.

"I would not like to be manager of Mexico. I have repeatedly said I want to be here for a very long time. My last two jobs weren't for very long so I want this one to last longer.

"So although it is flattering, I won't be Mexico manager."
