Timeline
Diego Martín Alonso López (born 16 April 1975) is a Uruguayan professional football manager and former player who played as a striker.
He made his professional debut with Bella Vista where he remained four seasons, helping the side to the Uruguayan Segunda División title in 1997.
He represented Uruguay at the 1999 Copa América.
His debut came on 17 June 1999 in a 3–2 friendly win over Paraguay, in Ciudad del Este.
Alonso was chosen for the nation's squad for that year's Copa América, and scored on his quarter-final penalty shootout attempt (5–3 victory) for the eventual runners-up, also against Paraguay, the hosts.
Other than in his own country, he played football in Argentina, Spain, Mexico and China in a 16-year career, notably winning the 2001–02 Segunda División with Atlético Madrid while being crowned top scorer.
After a brief spell in Argentina for Gimnasia La Plata (he would also represent the club towards the end of his career), Alonso moved to Spain, where he played with five teams in as many years: Valencia, Atlético Madrid (where he scored 22 goals in 2001–02's Segunda División, helping the Colchoneros to return to La Liga and forming an efficient attacking partnership with countryman Fernando Correa, who added 13), Racing de Santander, Málaga and Real Murcia, where he did not have a good scoring record overall.
In between his fourth and fifth club, he played one year in Mexico with UNAM.
In spite of his season with Atlético he was not selected for the 2002 FIFA World Cup, and subsequently criticised manager Víctor Púa.
In 2006, the 31-year-old Alonso returned to his country and joined hometown's Nacional.
However, shortly after, he moved abroad again, signing with Shanghai Shenhua in the Chinese Super League; after two seasons with Gimnasia, the veteran switched to Peñarol.
Alonso made seven appearances for the Uruguay national team in two years.
Alonso began working as a coach in 2011, being in charge of clubs in Uruguay, Paraguay, Mexico and the United States and leading Pachuca to the 2016 Clausura and the 2016–17 CONCACAF Champions League titles.
In December 2021, he was appointed at the Uruguay national side, coaching them at the 2022 World Cup and leaving his position following a group stage exit.
In October 2023, he signed for Sevilla, being dismissed two months later.
Alonso was born in Montevideo, the country's capital.
Alonso started working as a manager in 2011, being in charge in quick succession of Bella Vista, Guaraní, Peñarol and Olimpia (the second and fourth sides from the Paraguayan Primera División).
In December 2014, Alonso was appointed at Pachuca of the Mexican Liga MX.
He led them to the 2016 Clausura and the subsequent edition of the CONCACAF Champions League.
On 4 May 2018, he was released.
On 2 June 2018, Alonso was named coach of Monterrey.
In May of the following year, after the 2–1 aggregate victory over Tigres UANL in the Champions League final, he became the first manager to win the competition with two different clubs.
On 30 September 2019, following a 2–0 loss to the same opposition that left his team in 12th place on the general table, he was dismissed.
On 30 December 2019, Alonso was announced as the inaugural head coach of Major League Soccer side Inter Miami.
On 7 January 2021, he left by mutual consent.
Alonso was appointed manager of Uruguay on 14 December 2021, replacing Óscar Tabárez who had occupied the position for the previous 15 years.
On 24 March 2022, after four wins in his first four games in charge, he secured qualification for the World Cup in Qatar.
In December, after failing to progress from the group stage in the finals, he presented his resignation and cited his desire to return to club duties.
On 10 October 2023, Alonso was named manager of Sevilla, replacing José Luis Mendilibar; the team stood 14th in the table at the time of his arrival.
On 16 December, having failed to win once in eight league matches and been eliminated from the UEFA Champions League group stage as last, he was dismissed.
Alonso is a cousin of Iván Alonso, who also played several years in Spain, mainly with Alavés.
His uncle Daniel represented Sevilla and Castellón in the 70s.
