On Saturday, LAFC made history after advancing to the final of the Concacaf Champions League after beating America. Days later, the Coapa club announced the dismissal of Miguel Herrera from the bench. After that, the rumor is reborn that the Mexican strategist will lead the MLS, however, his conduct could prevent his arrival in that league.
The North American league tends to have a stricter conduct policy in which they do not tolerate physical violence. Players such as Raúl Ruidiaz, Rafael Márquez, Sebastián Blanco, Zlatan Ibrahimovic, among others, have already proven the toughness of the code conduct, same case as strategist Matías Almeyda.

All of them have been fined and suspended even after having acted improperly in the countryside. None of them arrived with a problematic character.
They did not reach MLS for conduct
However, there were cases of footballers who rang to reach the league American and in the end they were rejected by the clubs.
Mario Balotelli was very close to reaching the Philadelphia Union, he was offered to the team led by Jim Curtin, but his attitudes on the field ended up keeping him from reaching the MLS. Balotelli is suffering now and it seems that for now the doors are not open in the league.
Gareth Bale did not come to Inter Miami due to its high cost, but was offered to the Los Angeles teams a year ago and they both turned him down due to his bad reputation in America.
The case of Agustín Rossi is a little different. The goalkeeper was very close to arriving at Minnesota Unites, however, due to domestic violence, he was rejected by the ‘Loons’ team.
Real Salt Lake fired Mike Petke in 2019 after insulting a referee in the Leagues Cup. In addition, the MLS punished him with a three-game suspension for such conduct.
In a league where behavior seems to be an example they try to push through coaches and players, It is difficult that Herrera’s incident with Bob Bradley’s assistant, Ante Razov, is something well seen through the league, although in the end anything can happen.
