Fabián Coito Machado (born 3 March 1967,[3] in Montevideo) is an Uruguayan former professional footballer who played as a defender and last managed the Honduras national football team.[4]

Managerial career[]

Uruguay[]

Coito started out as the coach of Uruguay’s U-17 and U-20. He briefly was the manager of the senior Uruguay national team until Óscar Tabárez renewed his contract with ‘La Celeste’ and was reinstated as head coach.

Honduras[]

In February 2019, Coito left Uruguay and was announced as the new manager of the Honduras national football team. Coito’s first match for Honduras was on 26 March 2019, in a friendly goalless match against Ecuador. In the 2019 CONCACAF Gold Cup, Coito came under criticism as his Honduras side was eliminated very early on from the tournament after losing to Jamaica and Curaçao. Despite this, Honduras went on to win 4-0 against El Salvador giving Coito is first win with ‘Los Catrachos’. In 2021, Coito managed Honduras to a third place finish in 2021 CONCACAF Nations League Finals after beating rivals Costa Rica on penalties. Coito also managed Honduras throughout the 2021 CONCACAF Gold Cup where Honduras was eliminated in the Quarterfinals by Mexico. On 13 October 2021, Coito was sacked by Honduras after a string of poor results throughout the 2022 World Cup Qualifiers which included three losses and three draws in six matches.[4]
