Mexico’s World Cup 2018 ends in the Round of 16 against Brazil

Mexico’s men’s national soccer team is ranked No. 15 in the world by FIFA as of June 2018.

Mexico World Cup 2018 Team

Coach Juan Carlos Osorio (Colombian)

Colombian Juan Osorio has coached the Mexican National Soccer Team since October 2015. He started his coaching career with the New York Red Bulls. In Colombia Osario coached Atlético Nacional and Once Caldas. He won Colombia Primera A, Copa Colombia, and the Superliga Colombia. Most recently Osario coached São Paulo.

The Mexican press has been giving Osorio a hard time lately. But after defeating Germany in their first 2018 World Cup game, Osorio is getting some respect.

Of course the reason the Mexican men’s national team is doing well is because their coach is Colombian. Ha!
