Leave it to Ives: Osorio is Staying

By: Dave Martinez | December 2nd, 2008

Got to love SBI.

A day after we put Red Bull fans into a panic, Ives comes in to sooth the minds of the already paranoid and depressed.

Juan Carlos Osorio affirmed his return next season. So much so that he claims to have turned down over a dozen job offers to stay on.

And here is another rumor killer – Osorio seems to be referring to Red Bull Salzburg when speaking of the need for more support with the onfield product. With a year left in his contract, the Coach wants to put the finishing touches on a near miss team, and that means having the entire organization on board with the idea.

My take? Well, the quotes from GolUSA don’t exactly conflict with the report by Ives. Osorio still seems to be saying that he needs more in order to reach the next level, and is still adament that the organization must be commited to the growth of this project. Where the fault may lie is with GolUSA’s sensational cover page story, followed by some creative graphics in its layout (such as highlighting “No Se Si Sigo” – translated “I don’t know if I will continue”).

What do you think? Osorio claims to be coming back next year, but as Fire fans are quick to tell you, jumping ship is nothing new for the Colombian Director. Share your thoughts.
