According to recent reports, the former manager of Leeds United, Marcelo Bielsa, has allegedly accepted an offer to become the next coach of the Uruguay national team.
This would mark his return to management since his sacking by Leeds United in 2022. Bielsa was also a top contender for the managerial position at Everton, which became vacant following Frank Lampard’s dismissal in January. However, he declined the offer, citing that the players on Everton’s team were not fast enough to suit his playing style.
Sources suggest that Bielsa and La Celeste, the Uruguay national team, are in the final stages of their discussions and are expected to make an announcement in the coming days. The terms of the agreement reportedly involve a two-year contract, which would see Bielsa lead the Uruguayans until the 2025 World Cup qualifiers.
This would be Bielsa’s third time coaching a national team, having previously held similar roles in his home country, Argentina, and Chile. The news has been met with excitement from Uruguay fans, who are hoping Bielsa’s tactical expertise and experience will help propel their team to success on the international stage.
