San Pedro Sula, Honduras.
The hiring of the new Honduras coach is a topic of great interest and since there are two firm options by Fenafuth of Colombian origin, they also have the media of the South American country with their finger on the line.
La Prensa newspaper learned that the first option is Juan Carlos Osorio, who has as his great record taking the Mexican team to the 2018 World Cup in Russia and defeating Germany in his debut. However, he fell by the wayside in the round of 16.
“Juan Carlos Osorio confirmed to Vbar Caracol that he was offered to direct the Honduran National Team. It would be his third national team, second in Concacaf”, he announced the Caracol program on his social networks.
The journalist Diego Rueda himself, from the Vbar Caracol program, was contacted by Diario La Prensa to find out more details about the communication with the former coach of Paraguay and the Brazilian Sao Paulo.
“Yes, he recognized the interest and learned about the possibility of leading Honduras. It was very brief”, highlighted the communicator Diego Rueda. Osorio did not express anything on economic issues, an issue that strongly surrounds the 62-year-old strategist.
Diario La Prensa has learned that Fenafuth and he have talked about the salary issue, but his high salary of more than 100 thousand dollars a month (2.5 million lempiras) at Zamalek in Egypt is currently a great inconvenience.
Another detail that has leaked from Colombia is that the coach cannot quickly dissociate himself from his current club and everything could happen until August. That would mean a month before the debut in the 2023/2024 Nations League against Jamaica in Kingston.
