Argentine club Godoy Cruz says former World Cup-winning goalkeeper Nery Pumpido is to take over as coach.
Pumpido replaces Uruguayan coach Jorge Da Silva and will lead the Mendoza-based club in the Argentinian Clausura and Copa Libertadores, according to a club statement.
Pumpido, a World Cup winner with Argentina in 1986, has coached previously in Argentina with Union de Santa Fe and Newell's Old Boys, and had spells in Mexico with UANL Tigres and in Paraguay with Olimpia.
He won the Libertadores as coach, South America's top club competition, with Olimpia in 2002.
Godoy Cruz says Pumpido will start pre-season work on January 4.
