After several months of uncertainty about his future, Lionel Scaloni has everything agreed to continue leading the Argentine National Team. According to reports in recent hours, the Argentine Football Association (AFA) will make the official announcement of his renewal this Thursday, in a press conference that the coach will lead alongside the infamous president of the entity, Claudio "Chiqui" Tapia, before the friendly against Uruguay.
The agreement between the parties is said to have been finalized in recent days and would include a contract until 2028, with a clause for automatic renewal until the 2030 World Cup, always by mutual agreement. This way, the coach born in Pujato would have the opportunity to complete a third consecutive World Cup cycle at the helm of the national team.
The continuity of the coach seemed to be on track since the last FIFA date, which was marked by the farewell of Lionel Messi from the Albiceleste. On that occasion, the AFA released a photograph of Scaloni with Tapia, a sign that fueled expectations for a new agreement. Additionally, the coach himself had left positive indications during the press conference prior to the matches.
