Uruguay appoint Forlan as head coach after World Cup debacle

Diego Forlan has been appointed as the new head coach of Uruguay's national team and Under-20 side, following Uruguay's early exit from the World Cup. The 47-year-old former professional player, known for his career at clubs like Manchester United and Atletico Madrid, replaces Marcelo Bielsa, who stepped down after leading Uruguay to a winless group stage at the World Cup. Forlan will start his coaching role with the Under-20 team immediately and will oversee upcoming friendly matches in September and November. His appointment comes as part of Uruguay's effort to rebuild after the disappointing World Cup performance. Forlan, a two-time Copa America winner and a key figure in Uruguay's 2010 World Cup campaign, brings extensive playing and coaching experience to the role.
