The president of the Argentine Football Federation (AFA), Claudio Tapia, assured that coach Lionel Scaloni, 44, will continue to be in charge of the national team. Scaloni was Tapia’s choice in 2018, after the failure at the World Cup in Russia, in which Argentina was eliminated by France in the round of 16 (3-4), after succeeding, then, Jorge Sampaoli,
“At that time they called me crazy: 99 percent thought we were wrong, but the truth is that Scaloni and this selection made the Argentinians proud,” he said. “Scaloni is and I believe he will continue to be the coach of national. We are both men of our word, we hit the nail on the head. I have no doubt that it will continue,” said Claudio Tapia
