The Uruguayan Football Association (AUF) has officially appointed former player Diego Forlán as the new head coach for both the senior national team and the U-20 squad. The 47-year-old replaces Marcelo Bielsa, whose tenure concluded following a period of instability and the team's early elimination during the group stage of the 2026 World Cup.
Forlán, a celebrated figure in Uruguayan football, returns to the national program in a dual capacity. The transition marks a significant leadership change for the federation as it seeks to move past the results of the recent World Cup cycle.
