"We come to replace Guillermo 'Chicho' Salas. We coached him when we were with Gerardo Pelusso in 2007. He has done a good job, has achieved goals. We come with another intention, when you come to a team like this, it is to become champions," he said.

He added: "I dare to congratulate him for what he did, for his numbers and his statistics. We come with a very personal idea from this coaching staff. We will try to repeat the same achievements, close this championship, and be three-time champions."

It is important to note that Salas was dismissed from the club after the draw against Universitario de Deportes in the Clausura Tournament. Previously, 'Chicho's' team had received criticism for their performance during the 1-0 defeat against Sport Boys.

Mauricio Larriera also commented on Jorge Fossati

Furthermore, Mauricio Larriera assured that Jorge Fossati, the coach of Universitario de Deportes, is one of the most successful coaches in Uruguayan football. In this way, he regretted not having the opportunity to face him this season.
