Bielsa exits World Cup with admission: ’I haven’t left anything to Uruguayan football’

Marcelo Bielsa has left his role as Uruguay head coach following their elimination from the World Cup after a 1-0 defeat to Spain in Guadalajara. Uruguay failed to win a single match in a group that also included Cape Verde and Saudi Arabia, with goalkeeper Fernando Muslera withdrawn at half-time after his error led to Spain's only goal. The 70-year-old Argentinian, who took charge in 2023 and described his own relationship with the players as 'toxic', took full responsibility for the disappointment and will not continue in the post.
