New Canadian men’s soccer coach Octavio Zambrano comes with experience and style
TORONTO — Octavio Zambrano watched the 2006 World Cup as a fan, opting to mix in some travelling once his native Ecuador was knocked out by a David Beckham free kick.
He eventually decided on Denmark over Finland and Sweden and ended up in a Copenhagen cafe watching the Ukraine-Italy quarter-final.
It was there he met his wife, a Russian who was at the cafe with friends.
For a man whose soccer journey has taken him around the globe, it was one of his best moves.
