Juan Carlos Osorio may not be returning to MLS after all.

ESPN Los Angeles stated last week that Chivas USA were set to announce Osorio as their new head coach, but according to reports out of Colombia, Osorio has decided to stay at Once Caldas.

Osorio recently led the Colombian club to the Colombian championship in 2010. According to several reports, Osorio has decided to remain with the club until the end of his contract in December of 2011 so that he could guide the club in the Copa Libertadores tournament.

In the Colombian reports, Osorio had interest from several clubs in Mexico and Colombia as well as Chivas USA. Chivas USA have been without a head coach since firing Martin Vasquez in late October after a disappointing season that saw the club finish at the bottom of the Western Conference table.

What do you think of this latest development? Think Osorio will still join Chivas USA? Who should Chivas hire if Osorio is unavailable?

  1. How come every time JCO changes jobs it’s filled with “will he, won’the, did he, don’t he?” drama???

    He’s as indecisive about where he will work as he is when he fills out a line-up card.

    I couldn’t care less about Chivas but today is a great day for their organization.

  2. Classic – Not even crappy coaches want to take the goats job – can you really blame him. When your “big” upgrade is conrad, you’ve got big, big issues

  3. Osorio’s family (if we believe the stories) has been a factor here and I wouldn’t be surprised if that was an issue here as well. That can often account for “sure, I’ll sign with you” to “uh, having second thoughts, I think not–I’m going to stay where I am” kind of stuff.

    I know Chivas USA can be seen as a joke, but surely not that bad haha : )
