The possibility of Juan Carlos Osorio's appointment to the Chinese national team has been raised.

Fife Sierra, reporting the news of Colombia's soccer, said on his SNS on the 18th (Korea time) that `Oscorio is one of the candidates for the Chinese national team's coach, and he is drawing attention from the leaders of the Chinese Football Association.' He added that `China intends to appoint Osorio to focus on fostering young talent.'

Originally from Colombia, Osorio made his debut as a leader in 2000. The name was announced in earnest when he took charge of the Mexican national team in 2015 and led the team to an unbeaten streak of 22 consecutive A matches. At the 2018 FIFA World Cup Russia, Korea, Germany, and Sweden played in the group stage, and made the round of 16 dramatically while directing the "Miracle of Kazan" in which Korea beat Germany. Osorio, who stepped down after the World Cup in Russia, later went through the Paraguay national team, Atletico Nacional, America de Cali, Zamalek, and Atlechiku Paranaense. He was appointed to Clube Tijuana last year, but was dismissed in March due to poor performance.

Osorio has been mentioned as a candidate for the next head coach of the Korean national team. Rumors circulated that he contacted the Korea Football Association shortly after the World Cup in Russia. At that time, not only Korea but also Egypt, the United States, and Colombia were aiming for Badgerio. However, the Korea Football Association appointed Jurgen Klinsmann, and Osorio chose to go to Paraguay.

China's Tencent reported the rumor of Osorio's contact and gave a positive look, saying, `He meets the four conditions preferred by the Chinese Football Association.' The media reports 'Oscorio is a leader who has a talent for nurturing young players. His annual salary is also within 1.2 million euros (about 1.9 billion won) set by the Chinese Football Association, 'Oscorio was with Sun Zhihai when he was the head coach of Manchester City, and there is a possibility that he will be brought in as the head coach. He pointed out that his earlier rejection of Iran's offer will also affect the decision of the Chinese Football Association. At the same time, he predicted that `Oscorio has no experience leading the Asian team, and the key is whether the Chinese national team will be able to accept the South American coach's tactics and operation for the first time in history.'
