Diego Forlán Corazo (Spanish pronunciation: ; born 19 May 1979) is a Uruguayan football manager and a former player, who played as a forward, and last served as head coach for Uruguayan Segunda División club Club Atlético Atenas. Widely regarded as one of the best forwards of his generation, Forlán was praised for his versatility, intelligence, technique, and shooting abilities. As of 2024, Forlán is a professional tennis player, having made his ATP debut at the 2024 Uruguay Open.
Forlán started his career in his native Uruguay as a youth player with Peñarol and Danubio, before joining Argentine club Independiente in 1997. After rising through their youth team and a successful four-year spell, he sealed a move to England with Manchester United in 2002. His form for Manchester United was not as successful as at Independiente, although he won the Premier League in 2002–03 and the FA Cup in 2003–04. In the summer of 2004, Forlán moved to Spanish side Villarreal. In his first season with the club, he won the Pichichi Trophy and European Golden Shoe with 25 goals. After two more successful seasons with Villarreal, during which he won the UEFA Intertoto Cup in 2004 and reached the semi-finals of the UEFA Champions League in 2005–06, Forlán joined Atlético Madrid in 2007 where, in the 2008–09 season, he once again became the league's top scorer, winning both the Pichichi Trophy and European Golden Shoe for the second time with 32 goals, becoming the first player to win the Pichichi Trophy twice since Ronaldo in 1996–97 and 2003–04. Forlán also won the UEFA Europa League, of which he scored the decisive goal in the final, and the UEFA Super Cup with Atlético Madrid, both in 2010.
