Juan Carlos Osorio candidate for coach of Los Angeles Football Club | Are you leaving América de Cali? | Colombians Abroad

Juan Carlos Osorio is alive in Colombian football, because after being on the verge of leaving America de Cali, managed to classify the home runs of the BetPlay II-2021 League, already won his first game of this phase (to Millonarios) and aspires to reach the final of the championship.

It would be assumed that Osorio is firm in the scarlet club, as it has received the support of Tulio Gómez, the largest shareholder, and because the results have brought the Risaraldense project to life.

However, it seems that his resume has reached a club and a national team., who consider him as a candidate to lead them. Nothing unusual in Osorio’s background, who always sounds and has approaches even if he is exercising his profession in another team.

It is so ESPN has reported from the United States that an MLS club has him among the options to take over as coach in 2022. Los Angeles FC want to interview the Colombian to find out if he is interested in leading the team, where Cristian el ‘Chicho’ Arango plays, and to learn about a project.

Osorio is said to be the strongest candidate, as Steve Cherundolo, Las Vegas Lights coach, and LAFC assistant Ante Razov also play.

The interest in Osorio was born thanks to the general manager of LAFC, John Thorrington, who was a footballer and was trained in 2007 by the Colombian, for a brief period with the Chicago Fire. In addition, Juan Carlos left his mark on the New York Red Bulls, where he was between 2008 and 2009.

The name of Osorio also sounds to lead a team that competes in Concacaf: from Jamaica they affirm that the coach of América de Cali has already been probed to start a project towards the 2006 World Cup, with a base of important players who play for European teams.

For now, only rumors that come from the north of the continent.
