Legendary Argentine coach Marcelo Bielsa is on the verge of taking over the Uruguay national team.
Talks between the famous "El Loco" and the Football Association of Uruguay were held during the last two weeks, and as reported by the Argentinian "TyC Sports", a verbal agreement was reached between the two parties.
It is also expected that the contract will be signed very soon.
After the era of the unique Oscar Tabares, "La Celeste" was led by Diego Alonso at the World Cup in Qatar, and the role of temporary coach is performed by Marcelo Broli.
Bielsa is a living coaching legend, a symbol of Newell's Old Boys (the club's stadium bears his name) and Argentina, and in addition to the club from Rosario and the "gauchos" during his career he also managed Chile, Espanyol, Marseille, Lazio, Athletic Bilbao, Lille, and his last job was in Leeds.
