Juan Carlos Osorio left MLS 16 months ago having endured the worst run in league history. More than a year, and one Colombian League championship later, Osorio looks set to return to MLS again.

ESPNLosAngeles.com is reporting that Chivas USA is set to hire Osorio as the team's newest head coach. The report cited multiple unnamed sources, including a team official.

Osorio will be coaching his third MLS team in four years. He became Chicago Fire head coach in 2007, helping turn the Fire from a cellar dweller into a playoff team that reached the Eastern Conference final. He left the Fire to become New York Red Bulls head coach in 2008, and overcame a mediocre regular season to guide the team to its first MLS Cup Final appearance, a 3-1 loss to the Columbus Crew.

Things went badly for Osorio in 2009, when the Red Bulls fell apart and endured one of the worst seasons in league history. Osorio stepped down late in 2009. He eventually resurfaced in Colombia, where he recently led Once Caldas to the Colombian League Championship.

What do you think of this development? Think Osorio can turn Chivas USA around? See him struggling like he did in 2009 with New York?

Sure, names like Lance Armstrong, Greg LeMond and defending champion Alberto Contador will go down in the annals of cycling history. Money? Certainly, the winners make some dough from winning and from the sponsorship deals that can result. The challenge of it all? No doubt, there are some competitors just looking to see where they rank among the top athletes in the sport. But there's another reason to race. If you win, you get to stand on the podium with some of the world's most beautiful women.
