Juan Carlos Osorio, former national coach of Mexico, arrives in Tijuana to coach Xolos

Juan Carlos Osorio, Colombian coach and former coach of the Mexico national teamis back in Aztec lands to assume the technical direction of the Xolos de Tijuana of the MX League, which will seek to renew its laurels and regain the prominence that it could not achieve under the orders of Miguel Herrera in the last two tournaments that generated great annoyance among fans of the border squad.

Osorio arrives in Mexico with a series of questions and little credibility among Mexican fans, especially due to his failed management in the 2018 Russia World Cup process. where they were eliminated by Brazil 2-0 at the beginning of the second phase, after they added two victories in the first phase over Germany 1-0 and Japan 2-1, but a painful defeat with Sweden 0-3, which forced the Amazonian squad to face.

Now he is back from Atlético Paranaense in Brazil, to arrive at the Xolos in search of making him forget the bitter moments he experienced in Puebla in 2012, with only two wins, two draws and seven losses in the eleven games he led the La Franja team.

And also his moments of light and dark with the national team, where his policy of tactical changes, without maintaining a prototype lineup in one game and another, made him leave through the back door with memories. as bitter as the 7-0 that Chile gave them in the 2016 Centenario Cup and that put their project at the head of the Mexican national team in a predicament.

The Colombian strategist arrives in Tijuana with the help of a cane and a prosthesis to protect his left legwho had to undergo surgery in an already scheduled intervention to correct an old problem that was beginning to cause problems.

Osorio has an important challenge that will force him to put all his tactical and ideological resources to try to regain the credibility of a team that has not brought all of them with it in recent years and also on a personal level. Well, really, his time in Mexican soccer has been more of sorrow than glory.

So we’ll see if Osorio has the arguments to give his all in Mexican football, especially because its trajectory in recent years has been on the decline and requires a change of direction.
