TORONTO -- Veteran Spanish manager Benito Floro is expected to be introduced Friday as coach of the Canadian mens soccer team. Floros appointment was reported by Marca, a Spanish national daily sports newspaper. The Canadian Soccer Association confirmed it will introduce its new coach Friday morning in Toronto but declined comment on the report or Floro. Canada has been without a full-time coach since Stephen Hart stepped down in October following the national teams humiliating exit from World Cup qualifying. Floro, 61, has a lengthy resume that includes being in charge of Spanish giant Real Madrid from 1992 to 1994. Nineteen managers have patrolled the sidelines at the Santiago Bernabeu since. Most recently he coached WAC (Wydad Athletic Club) Morocco. Other teams on his resume include Spains Villareal, Sporting Gijon, and Mallorca among others. He has also managed Monterrey in Mexico and Vissel Kobe in Japan. Floro earned headlines for leading Albacete Balompie from the third division to Spains elite league in three seasons during the early 1990s. That precipitated his hiring at Real Madrid where he led the team to second place in La Liga and the Copa Del Rey before being fired the following season. Flor fits in between Leo Beenhakker and Vicente Del Bosque in the Real Madrid managerial annals. He returned to Albacete and then Madrid in 2005 when he replaced Arrigo Sacchi as the clubs sporting director. Floro has also worked as a TV commentator. The next coach will be Canadas eighth full-time manager since Tony Waiters took the national team to the 1986 World Cup, Canadas only trip to the mens world championship. He will take over a team ranked 88th by FIFA, sandwiched between Trinidad and Tobago (which recently appointed Hart as its new manager) and the Central African Republic. With the 2014 World Cup out of the question, Canada must look ahead to the 2018 World Cup in Russia and beyond. The Canadian men are currently at the Gold Cup, the regional championship for the CONCACAF region, under interim coach Colin Miller. Reporters taking part in a Miller conference call Thursday were asked to restrict their questions to the Gold Cup. Miller has taken a young squad to the Gold Cup, with the CSA electing not to call up older players such as 35-year-old Dwayne De Rosario and 33-year-old Patrice Bernier. The Canadian Soccer Association had set a Hispanic coach as a target, according to one source. After the 8-1 loss in Honduras that sealed Canadas World Cup qualifying fate, association president Victor Montagliani said something had to be done to better prepare Canada for playing in the hostile confines of Central America.
