Sao Paulo sign Colombian coach

Xinhua, May 27, 2015 Adjust font size:

Sao Paulo have signed Colombian Juan Carlos Osorio as their new coach, according to local media reports on Tuesday.

The 52-year-old agreed to join the six-time Brazilian Serie A champions following talks with the club's president Carlos Miguel Aidar in Medellin last week, Brazilian news portal Lancenet reported.

He will replace Muricy Ramalho, who stepped down in April for health reasons.

Osorio joins the club from Colombian top-flight club Atletico Nacional, who he led to 69 wins from 119 matches.

He has also had spells in charge of Millonarios, Chicago Fire, New York Red Bulls, Once Caldas, Puebla and the Honduras national team.

In addition, Osorio spent four years as an assistant coach under Kevin Keegan at Manchester City. Endi
