After several months of waiting, the Uruguayan National Team made official the arrival of Marcelo Bielsa to the first team for the start of the South American Qualifiers and the Copa América 2024.
Through a video broadcast on its social networks, the Uruguayan Football Association reported the news and closed the film with a well-remembered phrase from the coach: “Commit to fight with dignity for the maximum that is at stake.”
The former coach of Newell’s, Vélez, Espanyol, Athletic Bilbao, Olympique de Marseille, Leeds United and Lille, among others, received the support of a large part of the soccer community after Uruguay’s recent failures in international tournaments, especially elimination in the group stage of Qatar 2022.
In this way, its main objective will be to put Uruguay back in the spotlight: it will have to squeeze the performance of the team that has one of the best squads in the world with figures such as Ronald Araujo, Federico Valverde and Darwin Nuñez.
After the long cycle of Oscar Washington Tabárez, Diego Alonso excited with a good performance in the Qualifiers, but failed to maintain it in the World Cup, so much so that he created a bad climate with his own players.
