Coach Scaloni leaves Argentina after Copa America 2024

"Coach Scaloni has been considering his intentions for some time now. He will continue to lead the Argentina team to participate in the Copa America 2024. But after the tournament, this coach will leave the team to seek a new challenge, possibly at the club level," said journalist Leo Paradizo of the TN - Todo Noticias (Argentina) television channel.

Coach Scaloni seems to have lost motivation after winning the 2022 World Cup with Argentina.

At the same time, journalist Gaston Edul of TyC Sports shared information: "Coach Scaloni confirmed that he will attend the Copa America 2024 draw on December 7 in Miami (USA). The delegation will also include several members of Coach Scaloni's coaching staff.

This is very good news after the announcement that caused a stir in the middle of last week by this coach, that he would review his future with the Argentina team and intend to not attend the Copa America 2024 draw. There is currently no confirmation or decision on what coach Scaloni will do after the Copa America 2024. It is very likely that he will still lead the Argentina team to the Copa America. After that, there will be discussions with the President of the Argentine Football Association (AFA), Mr. Claudio Tapia, based on the results in the tournament, to see if this coach can continue working until the 2026 World Cup or not."

Coach Scaloni surprised everyone when he announced that he would consider his future and left open the possibility of leaving the Argentina national team right after the 1-0 victory over Brazil on November 22, in the South American qualifying round for the 2026 World Cup. According to the Argentine press, Coach Scaloni was under pressure from Mr. Claudio Tapia, President of the AFA, in an incident related to the country's political factors.

Coach Scaloni has led the Argentina team since the 2018 World Cup. Up to now, this 45-year-old coach has helped "Albiceleste" win the Copa America in 2021, win the Intercontinental Super Cup in 2022 and culminate in the 2022 World Cup in Qatar. Coach Scaloni and the Argentina team are leading the 2026 World Cup qualifiers in South America with 15 points after 6 matches.

In 2024, the Argentine team will compete in the Copa America held in the United States to defend the championship, taking place from June 20 to July 14. The 2026 World Cup qualifiers in South America will only return to play in September 2024.
