Fabián Coito Machado (born 3 March 1967)[1] is a Uruguayan football manager and former player who played as a defender. He is the current manager of Deportivo Maldonado.

Playing career

Born in Montevideo, Coito represented hometown sides Montevideo Wanderers and Cerro before moving abroad in 1993, with Chilean side Provincial Osorno. In 1994, he joined Honduran side Olimpia, and retired with them in 1995, aged 28.

Managerial career

Uruguay

After starting out at Central Español in 2004, Coito was the coach of Uruguay's under-15, under-17 and under-20 national teams. 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.[2][3]

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]

Alajuelense

On 13 July 2022, Coito was appointed manager of Costa Rican side Alajuelense.[5] On 10 November, after being eliminated from the league in the semifinals, he left the club.[6]
