While he had left doubt about his future, Lionel Scaloni will lead the Argentina team during the next Copa America.
Relief in Argentina. Lionel Scaloni, the world champion coach, will continue his mission at the head of Argentina. This is big news, because the impact of the former right winger on Lionel Messi’s team is such that this selection has a nickname in his honor, the “Scaloneta”.
After the victory in Brazil this fall, Scaloni had nevertheless caused trouble about his future at the head of the Albiceleste. “I have a lot to think about right now. These players have given us a lot. I have to think a lot about what I want to do. It’s not goodbye or anything,” he confided.
Scaloni prepares for Copa America
During the draw for the Copa America 2024, he gave it another layer, with a statement that was enigmatic news: “It’s a personal moment to reflect and I’m in this situation, to reflect. This is important after all that has been achieved. We have to think about everything that’s coming and see what we do.”
Ultimately, there will be no upset, and so Scaloni will stay in place until the 2024 Copa America, at least. This is what journalist Gaston Edul announces, who specifies that the Argentine coach is already preparing for this competition in the United States, by looking for training grounds in Atlanta, New Jersey, Miami and Texas. Argentina is also looking to postpone its friendly matches in March.
