Chile signs Bielsa as coach through 2015
Santiago, Chile (Sports Network) - Chile signed Marceloa Bielsa to a five-year contract to remain coach of the national team.
Bielsa recently led Chile to the round of 16 in the FIFA World Cup, where the South Americans lost to rival Brazil. The Argentine-born Bielsa will now coach Chile through the next World Cup in Brazil in 2014.
He took over Chile in 2007 and led the team to second place in South American qualifying. Chile then won two group matches against Honduras and Switzerland, in its first World Cup appearance since 1998.
Chile last won a match at the World Cup in 1962, when it hosted the tournament and finished third.
