SRA semifinalists Penarol announced his short-term role on social media declaring, “Welcome Warren Gatland”.
The Montevideo-based club added: “The legendary New Zealand coach joins Penarol as an advisor to [head coach] Ivo Dugonjic and the entire Penarol staff to put all his knowledge to work for the team.”
Reports from South America say Gatland will also contribute to Uruguay’s bid to reach the Rugby World Cup, with a qualifier against Paraguay in August before potentially playing either Chile or Brazil for a place at the 2027 tournament in Australia.
