Former Manchester United striker Diego Forlan has agreed to become Uruguay head coach on an interim basis. Forlan succeeds Marcelo Bielsa, who stepped down after Uruguay failed to qualify from the group stage at the World Cup. Forlan has also been named coach for Uruguay's Under-20 team, alongside the senior first team. Forlan scored 36 goals in 112 games for Uruguay, and won the Golden Ball as they reached the semi-finals at the 2010 World Cup in South Africa.
