After the important success of world champion Argentina in the prestigious match against Brazil, coach Lionel Scaloni (45) surprisingly expressed doubts about his future as national coach. “These players have given us a lot and I have to think about what to do,” he said after the 1-0 (0-0) draw at the Maracana, which was overshadowed by serious riots.
“It’s not goodbye, but the bar is very high and it’s complicated to keep going and keep winning,” Scaloni continued. Parting ways with the 45-year-old would be a serious blow for Argentina; the 2022 World Coach of the Year led the Albiceleste to winning the 2021 Copa America, in addition to their third World Cup title in Qatar just over a year ago.
A decision will be made soon
Now he wants to think about it and inform all those responsible of his decision as soon as possible. “I will tell the president, I will tell the players later because this team needs a coach who has all the energy he can get and who does a good job,” he added.
Sportingly, the three-time world champion is doing well. With five wins from six matches, Argentina leads the World Cup qualifying group ahead of Uruguay and has a good chance of participating in the 2026 World Cup in the US. , Canada and Mexico.
