Pumas has officially named Antonio “Turco” Mohamed as their new coach, replacing Rafael Puente Jr. who was relieved of his duties on March 20. Mohamed is a three-time Liga MX winning coach, who last coached in Atletico Mineiro in Brasil, and will return to Mexico after a title winning spell in Monterrey. The signing seems to be a boost for Pumas’ fans, who will get a high profile head coach for the team, something that isn’t common for Pumas as they typically hire coaches with a certain relation during his player’s career with the team.
Antonio Mohamed has a long history with Mexico.
