A top Mexican soccer official has quit after a group of players he disciplined sought his resignation.
Nestor De La Torre was the head of national team selections and the third-highest official in the Mexican Football Federation.
A month ago, he handed down fines and suspended 13 players involved in a late-night party following an exhibition game against Colombia.
The players, led by former Barcelona defender Rafael Marquez, requested De La Torre's resignation as a condition to drop their threat to boycott upcoming games.
Mexico plays at home Tuesday against Venezuela in Ciudad Juarez.
