Marcelo Bielsa viré après le Mondial raté de l’Uruguay, son successeur est une légende de la Céleste
Marcelo Bielsa is paying the price for Uruguay's disastrous World Cup campaign. The 70-year-old Argentinian coach has been dismissed from his position as manager of La Celeste by the Uruguayan Football Association (AUF).
He is replaced by Diego Forlan. The former star striker for Atletico Madrid and Villarreal will serve as interim manager of La Celeste until March 2027. He already coaches the Uruguayan under-20 team, which will participate in the South American Championship for that age group in January 2027.
An inexperienced coach
AUF President Ignacio Alonso told Tele Doce that his organization had been in discussions with the best player of the 2010 World Cup for quite some time. "Forlán was chosen by the executive committee. We had been in discussions with him for a while. In 2022, we met him at the Maldonado farm with Jorge Casales (a member of the AUF executive committee). We had a long discussion with him about football, his projects, and his ambitions. We have many exchanges about football with him because he is developing a very interesting project," the president stated.
It must be said that the former Uruguayan football star does not yet have a long coaching career. He has only managed two clubs: Peñarol and Atenas de San Carlos.
