Lionel Scaloni Farewell to Argentina: Difficulty in Continuing & Success with National Team

Scaloni says farewell to Argentina: “It’s difficult to continue”

— One important thing I wanted to say is that I want to stop the ball, make myself think about this time. I need to think a lot about what I’m going to do, it’s not goodbye or anything else, but I need to think because the stakes are very high. It’s very difficult to continue and it’s difficult to continue winning. I will say this to the president (of the AFA) and the players. This team needs a coach who has all the energy possible — declared Scaloni.

Argentina won nine of the 10 games played in 2023, with 21 goals scored and only two conceded. The team leads the South American qualifiers for the 2026 World Cup, with 15 points.

— I feel enormous pride in leading these boys, in having a group like this. We compete again, which is what we want and what we ask of them. I believe this team demonstrated character many times. It’s a mark of yours: commitment and character — declared the coach.

Lionel Scaloni has been the coach of the main Argentine national team since September 2018. Since then, there have been 67 games, with 46 wins, 15 draws and just six defeats. Argentina won with him the title of the 2021 Copa América, the Finalíssima and the 2022 World Cup. It is currently the leader of the FIFA rankings.
