TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - Paraguay has named former Argentine coach Ramon Diaz as their coach on Thursday.
“Ramon Diaz and the Paraguayan Football Association (APF) have sealed a four-year work accord,” said APF president Alejandro Dominguez.
“It's one of the biggest challenges of my career... There's a lot of work to do,” said former River, Inter Milan, Monaco and Argentina striker Diaz.
Diaz took over the position from Victor Genes, who had been in charge since Uruguayan Gerardo Pelusso was sacked in 2013 after Paraguay failed to qualify for this year’s World Cup in Brazil.
Paraguay achieved their best World Cup placing in 2010 when the team reached the quarter-finals in South Africa under Argentine Gerardo Martino, who is now in charge of his home country.
