Osmar, who played for FC Seoul, returns to Seoul E-Land

Returned after 18 days from Spain, a love call from E-Land to strengthen its defense

Osmar (36, photo), who left Korea after 9 years with FC Seoul, returned to the K-League, a domestic professional soccer league, after 18 days. This time it is the 2nd division.

K League 2 (second division) club Seoul E-Land announced on the 10th, “We have recruited veteran midfielder Osmar.” Osmar is a player who played for 9 seasons at FC Seoul in the K League 1 (1st division). He made his domestic debut wearing the FC Seoul jersey in the 2014 season. In 2018, he spent a year as a loan player with Japan's J-League Cerezo Osaka before returning to FC Seoul where he played until the 2023 season.

Osmar, who played not only the defensive midfielder but also the center back position, scored 22 goals and 12 assists in 282 games over 9 seasons at FC Seoul. In the 2016 season, he became the first foreign player at FC Seoul to serve as captain.

Osmar was unable to renew his contract with FC Seoul after the end of last season. And on December 21st last year, he left for Spain, his native country. FC Seoul also told Osmar, who completed the Korea Football Association Class B leadership course last year, that they would be willing to join him if he intends to pursue a career as a leader after his retirement.

Osmar attempted to transfer to a Malaysian league team, but the move fell through. Coach Kim Do-gyun, who was newly appointed as the head coach of Seoul E-Land, sent a 'love call' to Osmar, saying that he was an essential player for promotion to the first division, and Osmar came back to Seoul on the 8th. It has been 18 days since he left Korea. Starting on the 11th, Osmar will meet his new teammates in Bangkok, Thailand, Seoul E-Land's training camp. Osmar said, “This year marks our 10th season in the K-League. “I want to create a new history at Seoul E-Land, which is celebrating its 10th anniversary,” he said. 토토사이트
