Chino football coach steps down
Chino High School head football coach Manny Saiz stepped down on Thursday, two games from completing his second season at the school.
Saiz, reached by phone Thursday night, said the move was for personal reasons.
"I've just got some personal things to figure out right now," Saiz said.
Assistant coach Matt Montello, who will take over on an interim basis, said the move centered on a disagreement.
"I know there was more or less a difference in opinion," Montello said. "There was a disagreement over a certain situation."
Montello declined to elaborate on the situation.
Chino, which carries a 3-5 record into tonight's game against Damien, finished 4-6 last season, its 2-3 Sierra League record a game short of landing the Cowboys in the playoffs.
Saiz has been a head coach for 10 years, including stints at Diamond Bar and Brea Olinda.
