MONTEVIDEO, Uruguay (AP) — Oscar Tabarez will remain Uruguay coach for four more years.
Uruguay's soccer association announced the contract extension on Friday without elaborating. Tabarez signed under the auspices of an intervention commission from FIFA, which is managing the association to February, when a disputed election is hoped to be resolved.
It will be his fifth World Cup cycle with Uruguay, the fourth in a row.
The 71-year-old Tabarez was coach of Uruguay the first time from 1988-90.
