A piece of news shook the football atmosphere this Wednesday night in the Río de La Plata: Marcelo Bielsa could become the new technical director of Uruguay. After various talks between the main leaders of the AUF, El Loco was very well positioned to return to the ring after leaving English Leeds in February of last year.
After the departure of Diego Alonso after the World Cup in Qatar, where Celeste was eliminated in the first phase in an incredible and controversial way, Marcelo Broli was the one who led the team in the recent friendly against Japan (1-1) and South Korea ( 2-1). But of course, the intention is to have a defined coach for the June matches, prior to the start of the Qualifiers.
Precisely, the contract will be until the 2026 World Cup, which will take place in Mexico, the United States and Canada. If it comes to fruition, it will be the third team led by Bielsa, after commanding Argentina and Chile at different times.
