Former Leeds Boss Marcelo Bielsa Named Manager Of Uruguay

Former Leeds United manager Marcelo Bielsa has been named head coach of the Uruguay national team.

The 67-year-old Argentine has been out of a job since he was sacked by the Elland Road club in February 2022.

He held talks with both Bournemouth and Everton in recent months over their then-vacant managerial positions.

Two-time champions Uruguay failed to progress out of their group at the World Cup in Qatar.

Bielsa joined Leeds in 2018 and is still revered by the club’s fans for overseeing their return to the Premier League after a 16-year absence.
