President of the Uruguayan Football Association trusts in the renewal of Diego Alonso

They hope to define the future of the ‘Celeste’ soon. The board of the Uruguayan Football Association (AUF) “Have confidence” in the possible contract renewal of Diego Alonso, who ended his agreement with the team after the elimination of the Uruguayan team in the Qatar 2022 World Cup during the group stage.

“Today there is no decision made. We have confidence in the coach. We had a talk and I confirmed my confidence in him but we have to talk. The president has confidence in the coach”expressed this Sunday the president of the AUF, Ignacio Alonso Labat, in an interview with the local channel Teledoce.

Uruguay said goodbye to the World Cup after losing to Portugal, drawing against South Korea and beating Ghana. Although they added the same number of points as South Korea, the number of goals scored played against the team led by Luis Suárez and Edinson Cavani.

Alonso Labat insisted that personally he would renew the coach’s contract, although he must measure “certain circumstances and assessments” that “cannot be measured in two days” after the controversial elimination of the Uruguayan team in the group stage.

Last Friday Diego Alonso postponed everything related to his future in the team in a few days, when he will talk “quietly” with the AUF. “It is too early, hot, to be able to speak. We will simply let the hours and days go by and we will chat quietly”, explained the coach when he was asked when the conversation with the Uruguayan Football Association will take place to decide whether or not to continue in charge of the senior team. .
