A British comedian convinced the Mexican national team that he was their coach, Sven-Goran Eriksson. The poser, was given a tour of Club Universidad Nacional's stadium.
The Mexican football federation has issued a warning to their clubs, that there is an impostor on the loose.

Its uncanny

Here's some video of the impostor in action. Skip to about 1:20 for the shots. It always amuses me how people can get away with this kind of stunt.

At least he looks like Sven. I agree with you Pardon, I always loved the story of Alan Conway who passed himself off as Stanley Kubrick, despite looking nothing like him! Conway's impersonations took place during the early 1990s, by which time Kubrick had largely withdrawn from public view. He convinced several entertainment figures that he was the famed director, promised them roles in films and dined out on his claims.
Frank Rich, a famed Broadway critic for The New York Times, was taken in by Conway's act in Joe Allen's restaurant when they invited Conway and his friends to join him at his table. Frank Rich was so taken with Conway's act that he later said that he thought Stanley Kubrick was gay after experiencing Conway's conduct. Frank Rich and his journalist friends were excited at the prospect of an exclusive interview with 'Stanley Kubrick' but later found out that he was in fact an impostor after contacting Warner Brothers. Kubrick's lawyer found out that there was someone impersonating him and when he informed Stanley Kubrick of the impostor, Kubrick was said to be fascinated by the idea.
