Tavares finished his career in Uruguay

by time news

End of an era in the Uruguayan national team. After 15 years on the lines, Oscar Tavares has finished his career as national coach. The 74-year-old veteran coach, who has led the team for a decade and a half and in recent years suffers from a syndrome called Guyanese-Barra, which causes the immune system to attack the nervous system, has been officially fired.

Tavares became over the years the great symbol of Uruguay, when he led the team to the 2010 World Cup (reached the semi-finals), 2014 (eighth finals) and 2018 (quarterfinals). In addition, he won with Uruguay at the Copa America in 2011 and has been the South American coach of the year twice since starting his national team career in 2006. This was the second term of Tavares, who coached the team both between 1988-1990 and also there led Uruguay to the World Cup.

Tavares has recently been far from the consensus that was in Uruguay following a streak of failures, with his team in danger of being relegated from the South American home and failing to qualify for the World Cup in Qatar next year. The departure was in the air, and now it has become official.
