Mexico head coach Juan Carlos Osorio confirms that he has stepped down from his role after three years in charge.

Mexico head coach Juan Carlos Osorio has stepped down from his role after three years in charge.

The 56-year-old led El Tri to the last 16 of the World Cup in Russia, where they were knocked out after losing 2-0 to Brazil.

Osorio, who hails from Colombia, had rejected offers from the Mexican Football Federation (FMF) to extend his contract.

"This message serves to send my most sincere thanks to the Mexican fans, the Mexican Federation of Football, the employees in the Cento de Alto Rendimiento (Mexico training centre) and especially all the players who I had the privilege to work with and spend time with during my time as the manager of the Mexican national team, a role I took on with commitment, passion and pride," Osorio said in a statement released by the FMF.

"In my name and in that of my coaching staff, many thanks to everyone for this unique and unmatchable professional and life experience."

Osorio, who has spent his entire playing and coaching career in the Americas, won 33 of his 52 games in charge of Mexico.
