Football: Forlan Expects Short Tenure As Uruguay Boss
The Uruguayan Football Association: Former striker Diego Forlan has said that his spell as Uruguay's interim manager was unlikely to turn into a permanent role. The 47-year-old succeeds Marcelo Bielsa, who departed after the team's failure to reach the knockout stage of this year's FIFA World Cup.
"This interim situation has come about. For me it's a real privilege to be there, alongside the best players we have in Uruguayan football," Forlan told reporters. "Being at the helm, leading the players and being able to contribute the experience one has is an enormous privilege."
The Uruguayan Football Association is scheduled to hold its presidential election early next year, and the former striker does not envisage remaining in the role after the vote, reports Xinhua. "Thinking beyond March is difficult," said Forlan, who is also in charge of Uruguay's under-20 national team.
