MEXICO CITY: Argentine Antonio Mohamed has been appointed head coach of Mexico's Pumas UNAM after agreeing to a contract that runs until June 2024, the Liga MX club said.
The 52-year-old replaces Rafael Puente Jr, who was sacked after a 2-0 home defeat to Pachuca on March 19, reports Xinhua.
"I am motivated by big challenges and for that reason I'm here, " Mohamed told reporters. "Everything was agreed to quickly. We hope to live up to the expectations of the club's fans, who demand a lot."
Mohamed has been out of work since parting ways with Brazil's Atletico Mineiro last July.
His debut in the Pumas dugout will be a home fixture against Atletico San Luis on April 9.
