World Cup 2006 His situation with the Mexican national team was quite good previous to the 2006 FIFA World Cup, as the team easily qualified to it and the team had a good performance at the 2005 Confederations Cup. However, constant clashes with the press, club owners, Hugo Sánchez, and, more recently, Cuauhtémoc Blanco have taken its toll on his popularity, pushing Lavolpe to threaten several times to leave the team. During the 2006 World Cup he told journalists: "Get out of my face! You know nothing. Don't break my balls, you fucking idiots." [1] The feud with Blanco saw the star striker allege that Lavolpe "does not have the trousers" to add him into the squad. At Mexico's German training camp, Lavolpe reportedly spent much of his time eating doughnuts under a roped-off parasol.

During Mexico's first game in the finals against Iran, Lavolpe was seen chain-smoking in the dugout, leading to an official warning from FIFA that he was not allowed to smoke during a match. Lavolpe responded by telling FIFA's executives that he would "rather give up football than smoking" although he later consented.

After Mexico were eliminated from the round of 16 following a 2-1 loss to Argentina, Lavolpe's contract with the team was not renewed. This is despite winning plaudits in the international media for his handling of the Mexican team: former Celtic coach, Martin O'Neill, praised his "tactical flexibility", while The Observer named him "Coach of the Tournament" [3].

Lavolpe had a bumpy start with Boca Juniors side, including a 3-1 loss against archi-rivals River Plate on October 8. Lavolpe did not do very good on the Copa Sudamericana, Boca Juniors lost 3-1 to Nacional from Uruguay on penalty kicks and was out of the competition on October 12. Lavolpe did not fare well in the Apertura Championship, failing three times to claim the crown in the final weeks of the season, and ultimately losing a playoff against Estudiantes. In keeping with his word, he resigned from the team after that match. It is a rumor that in fact the players did not like the coach therefore stopped giving their best.
