Argentina national soccer team coach Lionel Scaloni , who led Argentina to victory at the Qatar World Cup last year, suddenly expressed his intention to resign.

Coach Scaloni made a surprise announcement after winning 1-0 against Brazil in the 2026 North and Central America World Cup South American qualifying match held in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil on the 22nd (Korean time).

According to the BBC, Coach Scaloni expressed his desire to leave the team, saying, "Argentina needs a healthy coach with all the energy possible," and "We need to stop the ball for a moment and think. There are too many things to think about."

He added, "It's not goodbye (right now), but continuing to win is very complicated. We need to think about (resignation)."

After taking charge of the Argentina U20 national team, Coach Scaloni took over as Argentina's coach, succeeding Jorge Sampaoli in August 2018.

He enjoyed success with the Argentina national team.

By reaching the top of the Copa America in 2021, he helped Argentina win a major championship for the first time in 28 years. In particular, at last year's Qatar World Cup, he was crowned a hero by leading Argentina to its third World Cup championship since 1986. He succeeded in having a 'partnership' with Lionel Messi (Inter Miami), who had achieved everything but still had no World Cup trophy. 스포츠토토사이트

Afterwards, he signed a contract with the Argentine Football Association for four more years, but suddenly announced his intention to quit the team, confusing the national team players.

Moreover, it was an even more puzzling decision because Argentina was in first place in the North and Central American World Cup South American qualifiers with 5 wins and 1 loss (15 points).

National team defender Christian Romero (Tottenham) said: “We are confident that Scaloni will continue to perform and we hope to do so again.”

Romero expressed his trust in his mentor, saying, "We have to see that he has time to think. Coach Scaloni did not say anything about resigning in the locker room. We will try to persuade him."
