After an unassuming career as a player, he embarked in an extensive coaching career (more than 30 years), working in Colombia, Argentina, Italy and Spain, also managing the Uruguay national football team in two World Cup tournaments.

Playing career
During his 12-year senior career, Tabárez played mainly for modest clubs, representing Sud América, Sportivo Italiano (Argentina), Montevideo Wanderers, Fénix, Puebla in Mexico and Bella Vista, retiring at 32.
Coaching career
In 1980, one year after retiring as a player, Tabárez took up coaching, starting with his last club. The following year, he was named the Uruguay under-20s manager (he would coach the side on two separate occasions), subsequently working in many clubs in his country, without settling anywhere. However, in 1987, he led national giants C.A. Peñarol to their fifth Copa Libertadores, beating América de Cali. This success was fundamental in his appointment as manager of the Uruguayan national team, which he led to the Round of 16 of the 1990 FIFA World Cup in Italy, losing precisely against the hosts. He later coached Argentine League powerhouse Boca Juniors for two years.
After leading Cagliari Calcio of Serie A to the ninth place in the 1994–95 season, Tabárez was hired by league powerhouse A.C. Milan, but his spell would only last a few months: after an Italian Supercup defeat against ACF Fiorentina, at the San Siro, a 2–3 loss at against Piacenza Calcio for the league cost him his position, being replaced by Arrigo Sacchi, as the Rossoneri eventually languished into the 11th place.[1]
Tabárez then worked with Real Oviedo in Spain, with the Asturias club eventually only maintaining top division status in the promotion/relegation playoffs against UD Las Palmas (4–3 on aggregate). He then returned to Caglari, being sacked after one draw and three losses.
After two years in Argentina, with Club Atlético Vélez Sársfield and Boca, Tabárez spent four years away from football management. In 2006, after Uruguay had missed on three out of four FIFA World Cup qualification campaigns, he took charge of the national team,[2] starting with a fourth place finish in the 2007 Copa América, in Venezuela.
After a successful playoff against Costa Rica, Tabárez and the Charrúas qualified for the 2010 World Cup in South Africa, where the national team reached the semi-finals for the first time in 40 years, only conceding five goals in six matches until that point (Uruguay ended the competition in fourth place, after a 2–3 defeat against Germany).[3]
In 2011, in charge of roughly the same group of players, Tábarez led Uruguay to its 15th Copa América, with the national winning three games and drawing three in Argentina, only conceding three goals.
