Nizhny Novgorod, Russia (dpa) - Veteran Uruguay coach Oscar Tabaraz has left his future open after Friday's World Cup quarter-final exit to France. "I don't know an example of when a coach decides his future," Tabaraz said. "I still have a contract ... it's not up to me to decide." The 71-year-old Tabaraz has led Uruguay since 2006, winning the Copa America in 2011 a year after finishing fourth at the World Cup. Uruguay's tournament in Russia ended in a 2-0 defeat without key forward Edinson Cavani, who missed the game with injury.
