After the Uruguayan national football team withdrew from the World Cup, the time of the team's head coach Diego Alonso was numbered. The newspaper "TyC Sports" reports that the Uruguayan Football Federation will not renew the contract of this coach and will look for a new replacement.
According to "TyC Sports," the main candidate to become Uruguay's head coach is Marcelo Bielsa. The Argentine has coached teams such as Athletic Bilbao, Lazio, Marseille, and Leeds United.
Marcelo Bielsa is famous for his attacking style of football and the newspaper "The Sun" reports that the Uruguayan Football Federation will set the goal for the coach to qualify for the 2026 World Cup.
According to various sources, Bielsa was close to returning to the Bilbao team in the summer, but for unknown reasons, this move did not materialize.
