Diego Forlan, former Uruguay national team player and 2010 World Cup golden ball winner, has been appointed as interim coach of Uruguay's senior team and under-20 squad. He will lead the teams in friendly matches scheduled for September, October, and March. Forlan has limited coaching experience, having managed Penarol in 2020 before leaving after 11 games due to poor results, and later coached Atenas in the Uruguayan second division for 12 matches. Despite his lack of extensive coaching experience, he is respected in Uruguay for his achievements as a player, including scoring 36 goals for the national team over 112 matches and leading them to the 2010 World Cup semifinals. He also formed a successful attacking partnership with Luis Suárez during Uruguay's 2011 Copa América victory. In club football, Forlan excelled at Villarreal and Atlético Madrid, where he was the top scorer in Europe, though his time at Manchester United was less successful despite winning the league title in 2002/03.
