Excitable Mexico national coach Miguel Herrera has finally been given the waxwork treatment.

The man whose antics made us belly-chuckle uncontrollably during the 2014 FIFA World Cup (no, not Eamon Dunphy), has been given one of the highest honours that can be bestowed on someone. A wax likeness of Miguel Herrera has been erected in Museo de Cera in Mexico City, and it's actually quite realistic. Miguel gave it his seal of approval anyway, a slightly underwhelming thumbs up. "I am very happy and flattered. Thank you very much for this deference that make me," gushed Herrera at the unveiling of the statue. "Perhaps there are much more important people who might deserve such an honour, but it means a lot to me that people have requested (my waxwork) and I thank them all." https://twitter.com/MiguelHerreraDT/status/578411761121939456 We can only hope that after the photographer put the camera away, he celebrated the achievement like the Herrera we've all come to know and love.
