Darwin Nunez International Manager

Darwin Nunez, Liverpool’s No. 27, has been a key figure for Uruguay over the last year. He will now have a new manager to work under in Marcelo Bielsa, who was recently announced as Uruguay’s new manager. Bielsa is tasked with taking the two-time World Cup winners back to the top of the South American game. Nunez, who comes from a poor background in Artigas, has played most of his games for Uruguay alongside former Liverpool man Luis Suarez. However, with Suarez currently playing for Gremio in Brazil and coming to the end of his career, there will be an opportunity for Nunez to become the main man. Bielsa’s energetic style of play, seen with the Argentina national side and in the Premier League with Leeds, will lend itself better to the more youthful Nunez who can get around the pitch quicker than Suarez. Nunez’s versatility is something that Bielsa will also be keen to capitalise on. The first time that the new boss will get to work with Nunez in person will be in June, during the next international break, when Uruguay take on Nicaragua and Cuba in friendlies.
