The victory of Tigres against Monterrey does not seem to have been of much use. The Felines won the edition number 96 of ‘Classic Regio’ , but this did not secure the position for the Brazilian coach Ricardo Ferretti . One of the strongest candidates to assume the reins of Tigres is the former coach of Mexico, Juan Carlos Osorio .
The Colombian strategist already has experience and knows the Mexican soccer. Osorio directed the Mexican Soccer Team during the World Cup in Russia 2018 and also had the opportunity to be the coach of Club Puebla . Clearly, he is one of the strongest candidates around the Felina institution.
TO BE CONFIRMED 💣
Given the rumors that Ferreti 🇧🇷 will not renew the contract with Tigres, many names have come up to replace it
The one who sounds the most at the moment, is that of Juan Carlos Osorio 🇨🇴 (Former coach of the national team)

On the other hand, the Colombian coach seems to be very well regarded within the university institution. Mauricio Cubero , vice president of Tigres de la UANL, has a particular liking for the way the South American manages his teams. This is undoubtedly an important point that determines the hiring of the strategist.
Juan Carlos Osorio comes from dissociating himself with the Atlético Nacional from Colombia. Under these circumstances, the coach is free to decide his future and where he wants to continue his career as a strategist. According to information from Colombian media, Osorio would be willing to return to Liga MX .

For now Juan Carlos Osorio is in the city of Medellín, waiting for a formal proposal to resume their work. The Colombian coach has not sat on the bench since he was fired by ‘El Rey de Copas’ . Since then, Osorio has dedicated himself to making appearances in sports media in his country.
El Santos recently ran out of coach on the bench. The Argentine, Ariel Holan , resigned from ‘Peixe’ due to institutional difficulties and some threats he may have received. In Brazil they know very well the qualities of Osorio, since he directed the São Paulo in the year 2015 .
