Former Argentina midfielder Diego Simeone is the new coach of San Lorenzo, the fourth different Argentine club he has coached in three years.
Simeone takes over from Miguel Angel Russo, who quit last week following the club's elimination from the Copa Libertadores after a 2-0 loss to Mexican club San Luis. San Lorenzo president Rafael Savino said Simeone was given a 15-month contract.
Simeone has coached Racing, Estudiantes and River Plate and won the Argentine league title with both Estudiantes and River Plate.
Simeone's first game on the bench will be against Racing. San Lorenzo's match this weekend against San Martin will be handled by an interim coach.
