A great technician made a resounding announcement about his future this week.
It’s an evening that will stay in people’s minds for a long time. And not necessarily for the right reasons. While all eyes were on Brazil for a gala match between the Seleçao and Argentina, the pre-match was marked by violent incidents, with clashes between supporters in the stands.
But beyond these deplorable scenes, the Argentine public was also challenged by the very enigmatic declaration of Lionel Scaloni. Usually always very sober in his communication, the Argentina coach has cast doubt on his short-term future, suggesting a rapid departure.
Argentina in all its forms
“Argentina needs a coach with the necessary energy and who is doing well, launched Lionel Scaloni. I will speak with the players and management. I have a lot to think about right now. These players gave us a lot. I have to think a lot about what I want to do. It’s not goodbye or anything.”.
A declaration which had the effect of a small bomb on the other side of the Atlantic, during the night from Tuesday to Wednesday. How to interpret this output? Despite the precision to close his remarks, can Scaloni let go of the Albiceleste in the short term? Is the young Argentinian coach running out of steam after maximizing the potential of this group, which he led to the top of world football? The next few days will be decisive for the future of Argentina.
