Chicago Fire looking at ex-El Salvador coach de los Cobos

Submitted by Andrew Slevison on Mon, 12/28/2009 - 03:22

Chicago Fire are being linked with former El Salvador national team coach Carlos de los Cobos.

The 51-year old Mexican ended his tenure as coach of La Selecta in mid-December and is keen to take up a position with a club next season.

de los Cobos guided El Salvador to the final round of World Cup qualifying for the first time since 1997 but has now entered negotiations with an unnamed club, believed to be Chicago.

"There is a lot of thoughtfulness in this negotiation and I want to respect the contact with them," he said. "The management has asked me out of respect, and because my contract with El Salvador is valid, that I not mention the name of the team yet. But all is going very well and next week we could have news and reach a good agreement."
