Juan Carlos Osorio is a respected Colombian coach. Osorio has directed great processes and even led Mexico from the bench in a World Cup. But “Profe Osorio” has a pending goal and would do everything possible to fulfill it: lead the Colombian team.
The Colombian strategist has commanded a couple of processes in national teams; one fleeting one with Paraguay and another more solid one with Mexico. Worse Juan Carlos Osorio is now behind the coffee team and publicly offered his services to join Colombia.
“If the teacher considers that I can serve the team in something, as an assistant, as an analyzer or in whatever function, I would be happy to do so for my country,” said the South American strategist.
Juan Carlos Osorio has a great career behind him. The South American strategist would leave all his prestige behind and agree to join the coaching staff of Argentine Néstor Lorenzo. Osorio would be willing to lower his salary if he had this opportunity.
"I raise my hand and say to my country: I, Juan Carlos Osorio, am willing to be part of this renewal of Colombian football for a minimum wage, the one that a taxi driver or Mr. X earns, for my country and for my people; I want to contribute and contribute," he added.
Osorio's goal
Juan Carlos Osorio wants to contribute all his knowledge to the renewal of Colombian football. The South American strategist was the coach who trusted Gilberto Mora and took him to the first team of the Xolos de Tijuana before he gained the attention of the world.
Although Osorio's initial plan is to be able to join Néstor Lorenzo's project, the Colombian strategist does not rule out the possibility of assuming command of the coffee team in the future.
"I do want to be the head of this renewal process, wherever I can contribute; I can be one or two. Because eventually, if I start from two today, in the future I could be one. It is today, where I have energy, to be a participant in this project," he acknowledged.
In addition to the national teams, Osorio has coached clubs such as Chicago Fire, New York Red Bulls, Once Caldas, Puebla, Atlético Nacional, São Paulo, América de Cali, Zamalek, Club Athletico Paranaense, Xolos de Tijuana and Remo.
