EXPLAINED: Marcelo bielsa being considered for uruguay role after tearful world cup exit | Rare Historical Photos

Uruguay are reportedly weighing up a move for former Leeds boss Marcelo Bielsa in the wake of their emotional exit from the World Cup.

The South Americans were heavily tipped to advance into the tournament's knockout phase but were left scrapping to secure qualification from Group H during a final-day showdown with Ghana.

A stunning first-half brace from Giorgian De Arrascaeta was enough to seal a 2-0 win for Uruguay, but South Korea pipped them to second spot in the group after fighting back to clinch a remarkable 2-1 win over Portugal - sparking ugly scenes at the Al Janoub Stadium as the likes of Luis Suarez and Edinson Cavani reacted to their premature exit from the tournament.
