Doubts About Continuation

Montevideo, 10 Aug (EFE).- Former Uruguayan footballer Diego Forlán described his appointment as interim coach of Uruguay on Monday as 'an enormous privilege.' However, the experienced player expressed doubts about the possibility of extending his tenure beyond March.

Forlán, who has been a symbol of Uruguayan football and a historical figure at club Nacional, acknowledged that the elections for the Uruguayan Football Association (AUF) in March will be crucial. 'It is difficult to think beyond March,' he stated.

Electoral Impact

The decision on Forlán's future as interim coach will depend directly on the outcome of the AUF elections, which are scheduled for March. According to Forlán, his stay in the position will be linked to the results of these votes. 'It is difficult to think beyond March,' the ex-player said, now taking on a new role in Uruguayan football management after a successful career as a player. While optimistic about his interim experience, Forlán remains realistic about the challenges he would face if he seeks to continue in the role.
