I'm sorry, but this is hilarious. Apparently, an Englishman named Derek Williams falsified some documents from the Mexican Football Federation and wrangled himself a tour of Universidad Nacional's stadium and spoke to some reporters, all the while pretending to be Sven Goran Eriksson. He apparently told Universidad's manager that he was watching his players ahead of the World Cup Qualifiers. Classic.
I saw this article yesterday then i saw it on Fox Soccer Reort lastnite, shit was funny as hell. Hopefully he doesn't get any legal problems out of this.
I had written this story in Spanish, but could not find the impersonator's name.
Pumas UNAM head coach Ricardo Ferretti was one of the few people that didn't get offended. He actually thought it was funny.
But he did offend Pumas defender Israel Castro, saying that the Eriksson wanna-be showed a "lack of respect". The faker even fooled a fan. Poor guy thought that he had taken a picture with the new Mexican national team coach.

I heard that Javier Aguirre (Atletico's Mangaer) actually came up to him in a hotel to say hello, and as he realized it wasn't him, he scurried away all angry. HAHAHAHAHAHA
