Diego Forlan, the hero of the 2010 South Africa World Cup, has returned as the interim coach of the Uruguay national football team.
At his inaugural press conference, amid concerns surrounding the national team's recent slump, sharp questions were raised, asking whether he was acting as a "shield for the Football Association."
Coach Forlan stated his position on his appointment, saying, "It is a privilege to be here," and emphasized his trust in key players such as Araujo and Valverde.
Attention is focused on whether Uruguay, which suffered consecutive group-stage eliminations in the last two World Cups, can rebound under the Forlan regime.
Team Forlan will play a friendly match against the South Korean national team, which is also currently under an interim coach system, on September 28.
Sports Mug brings you the inaugural press conference of Coach Forlan, the "return of the legend."
