Montevideo, Aug 11 (IANS): Fabian Coito is reportedly set to be named interim coach of Uruguay's men's football team amid uncertainty over whether Oscar Tabarez will continue

Coito is currently a member of Tabarez's backroom staff and is coach of Uruguay's U-20 team, reports Xinhua news agency.

The two-time world champions will play Mexico in Houston on Sept. 7 followed by a clash against Ecuador in New York four days later.
