Diego Forlán, a former striker for Manchester United, has been named the temporary manager of the Uruguay national football team.
He steps into the role following the departure of Marcelo Bielsa. Bielsa left the position after what has been described as an acrimonious World Cup exit for La Celeste.
Uruguay was eliminated during the tournament's group stage, having achieved two draws in their three matches. Bielsa reportedly took responsibility for the team's disappointing results and performances, amidst reports of internal dressing room tensions.
Forlán's appointment as the national team's manager is on a temporary basis, with his current term scheduled to conclude in March 2027.
