Leonel Alvarez has been confirmed as new Columbia coach replace Hernan Dario Gomez,
The Colombian Football Federation (FCF) revealed on Thursday via their official website that Gomez's former assistant was the new man on the bench, after his predecessor was forced to resign following assault allegations outside a Bogota bar. It will be the 46-year-old's second coaching job, having started his career with a two-year spell at Independiente Medellin. Alvarez declared himself delighted to have been given the opportunity to lead the Seleccion, and had no doubt over what his principal objective was on assuming command.
"They are a brilliant group of players and everyone is totally committed towards our key objective which is qualification for the Brazil World Cup [in 2014]," he announced to reporters in his first press conference.
Alvarez nevertheless enjoys a stellar reputation in Colombia for his playing career, during which he appeared 101 times for the national team and featured in the 1990 and 1994 World Cups.

Brazil president Lula confirms Fielzao will be ready for 2014 World Cup
Former Brazil president Lula has confirmed Fielzao, the new Corinthians stadium has announced that the stadium will be completed in time to host Brazil's opening ceremony of the competition in three years' time.
Fielzao is currently under construction and believes it will be ready for the upcoming competition. "The stadium will host the opening of the 2014 World Cup," Lula told Globoesporte. "It was the World Cup that this stadium was developed for."
However, Corinthians have remained coy on backing up the ex-president's claims about the stadium that will originally have 48,000 seats but has the potential to be expanded up to 68,000, and will represent the state of Sao Paulo.

Libyan football team unveil new kit
The Libyan national football team are due to unveil a new kit for their African Cup of Nations qualifier against Mozambique on Saturday in a break with colours associated with Muammar Gaddafi's regime.
The team will now play in a white kit bearing a pre-Gaddafi red, black and green striped flag with a crescent moon, adopted by the rebels and now the National Transitional Council.
Until now, the Libyan team had played in the green colour much favoured by Gaddafi, which he used on the Libyan flag after taking power in 1977 and also formed the cover of his political manifesto.
OmarAmer AlBarghathi, an avid football fan from Benghazi, tweeted his excitement about the new kit. "Quite excited about the Libya - Mozambique game on Saturday. New kit original independence anthem. First time I can proudly support the team," he said.
The game is due to take place in a closed stadium in Cairo due to safety concerns.
South Africa agreed last month to host the African Cup of Nations in 2013 in a swap with Libya, which had been due to hold the cup. Libya will instead host the tournament in 2017.
The change in the Libyan team kit is not just a sign of a new government but Libyan football's break with its own ties to the Gaddafi family.
Gaddafi's son Saadi was a former footballer who signed for three Serie A teams including Perugia and also ran Libya's football federation.
One story recounted by Khalid Agory, a writer for the website of Al-Ahly Benghazi, one of Libya's top football teams, revealed much about his management style. The club's stadium and club house were burnt down and three fans sentenced to death after Saadi was criticised during a match.

World Cup 2014 Brazil
The 20th FIFA World Cup international tournament is scheduled to take place in Brazil on June and July 2014. This will be the second time the country has hosted the competition, the first being the 1950 FIFA World Cup. It will be the first World Cup to be held in South America since the 1978 FIFA World Cup in Argentina, and the first time two consecutive World Cups are staged outside Europe (the 2010 FIFA World Cup was held in South Africa).
Brazil formally declared its candidacy in December 2006 and Colombia followed a few days later. On 11 April 2007, Colombia officially withdrew its bid, Francisco Santos Calderón the vice president of Colombia announced that instead Colombia would be hosting the 2011 FIFA U-20 World Cup. With this development, Brazil became the only official candidate to host the 2014 event. Brazil won the right to host the event on 30 October 2007 as the only country to enter a bid.

Now they have the chance again, with FIFA President Joseph S. Blatter saying that he had been impressed by Brazil's plans for 2014 despite the fact they were the only bidders following Colombia's withdrawal.
"The task was not easy - for us it was a real big challenge to have the same list of requirements and the same conditions for only one candidate than if we had two and perhaps we put the bar higher than if we had two,"

"This is the country that has given to the world the best football and the best footballers, and they are five times world champions."said Blatter.
