The Argentina national team coach was late for the start of the second half against Chile
Argentina head coach Lionel Scaloni will miss the match against Peru at the Copa America due to suspension.
The Argentine coach was late for the start of the second half of the match against Chile (1:0). Then Scaloni appeared on the coaching bench only after the match resumed after the break, while according to CONMEBOL regulations, all participants in the match must be on the field before the start of the second half.
In addition to the disqualification itself, Scaloni is also required to pay a fine of $15,000.
Earlier it was also reported that Argentina forward and captain Lionel Messi was injured in the game with Chile. His participation in the upcoming match with the Peruvians is in question.
After beating Chile (1:0), Argentina secured a spot in the Copa America playoffs. Lionel Scaloni’s team will play their final group stage match against Peru on the night of June 29-30.
