The Coach
Honduras are coached by Colombian Reinaldo Rueda. Before being appointed coach of Honduras Rueda had previously been coach of the Columbian national team. Rueda demands discipline from his players on and off the field and shown an ability to handle the mentality of the Latin American footballer.
Honduras strengths
Honduras strength is in the midfield where most of their players with experience of playing for European club sides can be found.
Honduras's weakness
Is in defence and in goal where only two their players are currently playing with European club sides.
