America de Cali legend Cabrera takes Chivas USA reins

Chivas USA have announced the appointment of Wilmer Cabrera as their new head coach.

The 46-year old Colombian joins the Goats after spending the past two seasons as assistant at Colorado Rapids and replaces Jose Luis Real at the Californian club.

"I'm really excited and motivated to be joining Chivas USA, as well as very grateful to the organization for the support they have given me," said the former America de Cali star.

"It's a big opportunity join an MLS professional club and an institution that wants to be one of the top teams in the League; a team that is not only eager to participate but that also wants to be competitive in MLS.

"I'm proud to be part of Chivas USA and MLS and I hope that this year the team can show that mindset and motivation in each and every of the 34 games we are going to play during the regular season."
