Bielsa labels his Uruguay tenure 'worthless' after World Cup exit

Uruguay's World Cup campaign ended after a 1-0 defeat to Spain, a result that confirmed their elimination. Despite encouraging progress under Marcelo Bielsa, La Celeste took just two points from three matches. Bielsa accepted full responsibility, saying "I will leave nothing to Uruguayan football.

Any contribution from a coach who's been working for three years is meaningless if you don't get results: fourth place in the qualifiers was worthless, third place at the Copa America was worthless, and obviously, I don't need to comment on that performance." He added: "The questions do not seek answers, but to pour out on me, who is responsible, all the disappointment of the elimination.

For this World Cup, we played to obtain seven points and we obtained two, despite a group of quality players.
