"I am motivated by big challenges and for that reason I'm here," Mohamed told reporters. "Everything was agreed to quickly. We hope to live up to the expectations of the club's fans, who demand a lot."

Mohamed has been out of work since parting ways with Brazil's Atletico Mineiro last July.

His debut in the Pumas dugout will be a home fixture against Atletico San Luis on April 9.
