TyC Sports claims that Bielsa will soon take over as head coach of the Uruguayan national team. According to the source, since firing former manager Diego Carlos, who caused Uruguay to lose the World Cup in the group stage, Bielsa has been one of their top managerial targets.
The Argentine’s contract will be in effect until the conclusion of the South American World Cup qualifying matches in 2026, with an option to renew should they advance. Having previously led Argentina and Chile, Bielsa has experience in the national team coaching spotlight.
