St Mirren have made a bold move by hiring ex-Spain international and former Scotland national team player, Juan Carlos Osorio, as their new head coach. The move comes after the club suffered relegation from the Scottish Premier League last season.

Osorio's appointment is seen as a major coup for St Mirren, who had been struggling in recent years under the guidance of previous manager, Gary Locke. The Spaniard has already started work at the club, with his first task being to put together a strong squad that can compete in the top tier of Scottish football.

The 51-year-old Osorio has extensive experience in coaching both youth teams and senior clubs, having previously worked with clubs such as Valencia CF, Real Madrid C.F., and Atlético Madrid. He also played professionally for clubs such as Deportivo de La Coruña, Villarreal CF, and FC Barcelona B.

With Osorio on board, St Mirren will hope to turn things around and return to the top flight next season. The club has invested heavily in their squad during the summer transfer window, with several high-profile signings including winger James Forrest and striker David Weir.

However, Osorio will need to make some tough decisions if he wants to succeed at St Mirren. The club currently sits bottom of the Scottish Premiership table, and there will be pressure on him to deliver results quickly. However, Osorio's background suggests that he has what it takes to lead a team back into contention, and with the right support staff and players, he could help St Mirren bounce back this season.
