After the participation of
Uruguay
in it Qatar World Cup 2022where he was eliminated in the group stage, the sights were set on what will become of the future of
Diego Alonso
, which he took over with four games to go until the end of the Qualifiers and then ended his contract with the national team together with the participation of Celeste in the World Cup. The Uruguayan Football Association Will (AUF) renew his contract or will he have to look for another coach? The initial idea was to have a meeting with the Tornado last week, but then it was postponed twice and the idea that the governing body has is to hold it in the week from December 26 to Sunday, January 1.

Now, what was the reason why the talk with the coach was delayed? as far as he could tell Ovation With sources from the Executive Committee, the objective is to calm down a decisive instance for the future of the Uruguayan national team. “There is no rush, even taking into account that in some way we are going to advance the electoral process and I do not rule out that the decision is made after the elections, we are analyzing it at this moment,” they argued from the governing body.

The elections, which were scheduled for March, will have a confirmed date of January 12 when Congress is held to approve the independent electoral tribunal (electoral commission) that will be in charge of supervising and monitoring the entire electoral congress. Although the date of the elections will be determined by that electoral commission, “it is very likely” that the elections will be brought forward to mid-February.

The AUF issued a note on Thursday in the form of a call for January 12. From that date there are 10 days to present the applications, which must be done 20 days before the Electoral Congress is held.

In the AUF elections, the president of the institution is first elected, then the Professional Football Council is appointed, which in turn chooses its candidate. The Amateur Soccer Council then chooses its candidate for the Executive Committee. Interest groups also propose another, and Ignacio Alonso chooses three. And then comes the turn of Peñarol and Nacional. The tricolor cast has already said that Ache does not continue and must determine who will do it in his place. In the case of Peñarol, the aurinegro group must define whether or not Gastón Tealdi continues, otherwise he must return to his position as titular director.
