BUENOS AIRES, April 14 (silubaba) -- Veteran manager Ricardo Zielinski has agreed to join Independiente on a contract that runs until June next year, the Argentine Primera Division club said on Friday.
The 63-year-old replaces Pedro Monzon, who had filled the position on a caretaker basis after the departure of Leandro Stillitano in March.
"It's a nice challenge to try to reposition Independiente where they need to be, which is in contention to win international trophies," Zielinski told reporters.
"I think we have a lot of scope for improvement, building on what [Monzon] has already been working on."
Zielinski has been out of work since parting ways with Uruguay's Nacional on March 19.
Independiente are currently 25th in the 28-team Primera Division standings with just one win from 11 games so far this season. Zielinski's first match in charge will be a home clash against Racing Club on Sunday. ■
