Reinaldo Rueda has retired as the national coach of the Honduras National footaball team. The popular Colombian took Los Catrachos to just their second FIFA World Cup this year, where they lost Group H matches against Chile and Spain, before completing their fixtures with a scoreless draw against Switzerland.

Rueda, who previously coached Colombia in the qualifiers for the 2006 FIFA World Cup, took over at the start of 2007. In three years he rebuilt the Honduras squad and led them to the FIFA World Cup for the first time since 1982.
