"What one does is analyze it personally and then share the questions that arise to explain such a negative performance with [sporting director] Jorge [Giordano], who is a specialist, and what he has to say has the added benefit of his specific professional knowledge."
"The president [of the Uruguay football federation, Ignacio Alonso] has many concerns; he conveys them, presents them, raises them, and I answer them."
"From the conversation -- I spoke for many hours with the president and with Jorge -- the conclusion is that the project will continue exactly as planned until the World Cup. That's the summary and fina"
Marcelo Bielsa said he felt ashamed after Uruguay's 5-1 loss to the United States but confirmed he will remain head coach through the 2026 World Cup. He held a news conference in Montevideo, personally analyzed the defeat, and consulted sporting director Jorge Giordano and federation president Ignacio Alonso. Uruguay drew 0-0 away at Mexico earlier in the November window before the heavier loss in Tampa, where the U.S. scored through Sebastian Berhalter, Alex Freeman, Diego Luna and Tanner Tessmann. The federation president reiterated support and the project will continue as planned until the World Cup.
