Ex-Manchester United attacker Diego Forlan set to replace Marcelo Bielsa as interim Uruguay coach

(FILES) Former Uruguayan footballer Diego Forlan arrives for the draw for the 2022 World Cup in Qatar at the Doha Exhibition and Convention Center on April 1, 2022. The Uruguayan Football Association (AUF) is on July 13, 2026, on the verge of finalising an agreement with Diego Forlan for him to take charge of the Under-20s and act as interim manager of the senior team, following its failure at the World Cup with Marcelo Bielsa in charge.
