Mexico coach Ricardo La Volpe is hoping to stay in his job and continue the improvement he has masterminded in the last three-and-a-half years.

La Volpe was speaking after seeing his side's World Cup hopes ended by a 2-1 extra-time defeat to Argentina in the last 16, with Mexico earning plenty of praise for an outstanding diplay.

La Volpe said: "I hope to stay. I would like to continue my work and continue to follow my ideas.

"Everyone in the world knows now that Mexico can play good football, that's a fact.

"We played Argentina on equal terms and that's something that must be acknowledged."
