The coach seems ready to make a surprising decision in his career
Team coach Argentina’s Lionel Scaloni may leave his position. The coach said this after the victory over Brazil (1:0) in the qualification for the 2026 World Cup.
“One important thing I wanted to say is that I need to think, I have a lot to think about at this time. These players gave a lot to me and the entire coaching staff. I need to think seriously about what I’m going to do next.”
“It’s not goodbye or anything, but I need to think about it because the bar is very high. It gets really hard to keep winning and these guys make it even harder. I will say this to the president of the Argentine Football Federation and the players, because this team needs a coach with all the energy possible and a coach who is okay.”
The Argentina national team won the 2022 World Cup in Qatar. In the final, Scaloni’s team beat France in a penalty shootout. Also under his leadership, Argentina won the Copa America and the Finalissima. Scaloni was also named the 2022 National Team Coach of the Year by IFFHS.
Let us remind you that the match with Brazil ended with a minimal victory for Argentina thanks to a goal by Nicolas Otamendi. At the same time, the meeting was marked by riots in the stands, due to which the start of the game was delayed by 30 minutes.
Argentina remains the leader of the South American selection. Uruguay is in second place, one point behind Argentina.
