Source: Osorio to leave Mexican national team

Despite the Mexican Football Federation's attempt to keep him on board, head coach Juan Carlos Osorio has decided to move on.

Osorio has turned down Mexico's offer of a contract extension and will leave the job he has held since 2015, a source close to Osorio confirmed to Goal on Thursday.

Osorio has not accepted another position yet and, while he hasn't finalized his next job, the Colombia national team and United States national team positions are the leading possibilities for the 56-year-old.

The decision comes as no surprise to those close to Osorio, who were well aware of his desire to pursue a new challenge after a tumultuous three years with Mexico.
