Team Argentina Lead by Lionel Scaloni in 2024 Copa America

In an interview with Chiqui Tapia, Lionel Scaloni confirmed that he would remain the head coach of Argentina at the Copa América to be played in the United States in June, as reported by Gaston Edul and Fabrizio Romano.

Following a meeting between Tapia, the AFA president, and Scaloni at the Argentine Football Association headquarters, the questions surrounding Scaloni’s future have been answered. In recent months, the Argentine coach has expressed concern that he may not be able to continue as coach of the national team. However, after weeks of reflection, he has decided to continue as coach.

In difficult moments, such as after the loss to Saudi Arabia in the opening match, Scaloni’s team has shown important unity, in addition to its technical and tactical abilities. He has been able to manage a group in which he has mixed experience with youth.

At the beginning of the qualifiers for the 2026 tournament in the United States, Mexico, and Canada, Scaloni has been able to maintain the intensity of his team after winning the World Cup with Messi and Co. Despite the setback at home to Uruguay, they pulled off another historic win in Brazil to plunge their rivals into an unprecedented crisis.
