Tabarez to continue as coach despite illness

In past weeks, reports came from Uruguay that gave the world some really bad news, Uruguay manager Oscar Washington Tabarez has a rare decease that degenerates his nervous system called Gillain-Barre syndrome. He has been spotted in a wheelchair lately because he can't stand for long period of time anymore and isn't able to walk freely as he used to. However, this illness won't get in the way of his work.

The manager told La Ovacion newspaper that he plans to stay as the head coach for Uruguay despite his condition and he intends to stay in his post until after the next World Cup that will be played in Russia in 2018: "I will continue [as Uruguay coach]. At least until the results say otherwise. When you are coach you know you are displayed by the results."

He explained what his illness is all about: "My illness I have talked about with who I need to talk about it with. All the higher ups at the AUF knew that I had to move around in a cart. There are days where I am better than others. There are some days where I can move on my own, some others no. Still, nothing changes with my job, or dealing with players."
