Lionel Scaloni has revealed that might quit as Argentina manager despite guiding the team to Copa America and World Cup glory during his five years in charge.
The 45-year-old took over as manager in 2018 and led Argentina to the South American title in 2021 – their first major trophy since the 1986 World Cup – before the Albiceleste landed their third global title in Qatar last year.
So Scaloni's comments about his future, which came after Argentina's 1-0 victory over Brazil at Rio de Janeiro's famous Maracana stadium, were something of a surprise.
It was a win that kept Argentina at the top of the South American World Cup 2026 qualifying group, two points ahead of Uruguay, who had beaten Scaloni's side 2-0 on Friday.
