Forlan takes over from Marcelo Bielsa, whose tenure concluded after Uruguay's winless group-stage exit from the World Cup earlier this summer. The 47-year-old, a revered figure in Uruguayan football who starred at the 2010 World Cup in South Africa, will immediately begin his coaching duties with the Under-20 team. This appointment forms a key part of Uruguay's efforts to rebuild following Bielsa's departure, which was attributed to his inability to mould the squad into a successful team at the World Cup, alongside reported tensions with players. Forlan, who earned 112 caps and helped Uruguay win the 2011 Copa America, retired from playing in 2019 and has since gained coaching experience with Uruguayan clubs Penarol and Atenas, and is set to lead the team in upcoming friendly matches.
