Forlan, the man who inspired Uruguay to the 2010 World Cup semi-finals and the 2011 Copa America title, is the chosen figure to steady the ship. A meeting has been scheduled between Forlan and the AUF Executive Council to finalise a dual-role agreement. The plan is for Forlan to lead the Under-20 side during the upcoming World Cup in Azerbaijan and Uzbekistan, while simultaneously serving as the interim head coach for the senior national team until March 2027.
