Tabaré Uruguay Viudez Mora (born 8 September 1989) is an Uruguayan footballer currently playing for Montevideo Wanderers.[2] [3]
Viudez, played for Uruguayan champion, Defensor Sporting for one year, in the 2007–08 season and scored 6 goals.
In the 2008 off-season transfer window, Viudez attracted the attention of Milan along with Mathias Cardacio. Both players signed for the club after undergoing trials. Viudez was to wear the number '20' shirt, previously worn by Yoann Gourcuff.[4] The Fonseca Group, who had the rights of the player, led the negotiations to transfer Viudez to the San Siro for the upcoming Serie A 2008–09 season. The Montevideo-born player, was relishing the new chapter in his career. 'I cannot believe it. It's a terrific jump up in my career,' he said. 'I must confess I have mixed feelings - nervousness and joy. This is a big step forward for me.' It was not known yet whether Viudez was to play for the first-team, play for Milan's Primavera squad (Under-20) or go out on loan for the season.[5]
Viudez made several pre-season appearances for Milan. After coming on as a substitute at the half for Alberto Paloschi against Manchester City, Ancelotti praised his movement and pace after the match declaring him a player that can be relied on in the future, despite the narrow 1–0 loss.[6] Viudez made his competitive debut in the Serie A coming on as a late substitute for David Beckham in a 3–0 win over Atalanta on 8 March 2009. This was also his only competitive match in Milan. And he was on the pitch for just 7 seconds before the final whistle, without touching the ball.
On 28 August 2009 Milan released Viudez and fellow Uruguayan Cardacio, by mutual consent.[7] He was later signed by his former club Defensor Sporting.[8]

On 9 August 2012, Viudez joined Turkish side Kasımpaşa, signing a three-year contract, with an optional two-years.[14]
On 2 July 2015, Viudez was presented as a new River Plate player.[15] His first appearance was on 21 July 2015, in the semifinals of 2015 Copa Libertadores against Guaraní. He came in as a sub in the second half, where he provided an assists to Lucas Alario's equalizer.[16] The 1–1 final score helped River Plate advance to the final. In the first leg of the final against Tigres UANL, he was injured and missed the second leg.[17] River Plate beat Tigres 3–0 in the second leg of the final, to win their third Copa Libertadores.[18]
He scored his first goal against Colón, in the first matchday of the 2015 Argentine Primera División. The game ended in a 3–1 victory.[19]
On 26 July 2016, Viudez re-joined Nacional,[20] after struggling to settle down in Argentina.[21]
On 14 December 2018, Viudez joined Paraguayan club Olimpia, signing a three-year contract.[22] In his first season, he helped his club win the Apertura of the 2019 Paraguayan Primera División.[23] In the following tournament, he and his club were crowned champions, making it four-straight championships for Olimpia.[24] On 16 September 2020, after suffering a string of injuries, including an elbow dislocation,[25] his contract was rescinded by Olimpia.[26]
On 30 September 2020, it was announced that Viudez was returning to Defensor Sporting for a third stint,[27] signing a contract until December 2021.[28] At the end of the 2020 season, his team was relegated for the first time in 56 years.[29]
