First friendly with Alonso as manager of Uruguay
In December 2021, Diego Alonso was called in an emergency to try to lift the Uruguayan team that was seventh in the World Cup qualifying round and was out of Qatar-2022.
Alonso coached in the final qualifying stretch of four matches and won them all to put Uruguay in third place in the Conmebol tie.
Now “being world champions” is Alonso’s goal, who inherited a Uruguayan team with several historic veterans such as goalkeeper Fernando Muslera, defender Diego Godín, and attackers Edinson Cavani and Luis Suárez.
Midfielder Federico Valverde, recent champion of the Champions League with Real Madrid, is outlined to be Alonso’s orchestrator, who has been promoting youngsters such as winger Mathías Olivera and winger Facundo Pellistri.
