Overview

  • Danubio’s S.A. ownership directed the reshuffle after four league fixtures to stabilize results.
  • Juan Manuel Olivera departed after taking four points from a win, a draw and two losses.
  • Matosas said he will serve as an interim to "give a hand" and expects to cover roughly four to five matches while a permanent coach is considered.
  • The appointment drew scrutiny because he moved from the sporting director post to the bench, and he said he will check any coaches’ guild rules that could be relevant.
  • He last coached a club game on October 26, 2019 with Atlético San Luis and acknowledges that poor results now could cost him both roles.
