Leo Messi and Sergio Aguero (Reuters)
Although Sergio Aguero’s story as a player is over, his relationship with the Argentina national team is really not over. The former striker told Argentine Radio 10 that national team coach Lionel Scaloni contacted him with the aim of joining Albiceleste at the 2022 World Cup as part of the coaching staff: “He and the players called me, I’m currently trying to see how it will work. We have arranged to meet this week and move forward with the talks. “
The 33-year-old Argentine, who could not be active on the pitch, said that if the move went through, he did not intend to watch his teammates from the sidelines: “If I go to the World Cup with the team, I will be with the players everywhere and train with them.”
The striker, who co-won with Argentina in the Copa America last summer and finished in a 28-year drought without a title, has competed in the last three World Cups with the Albiceleste and even reached the final in 2014, where he lost with the German team in overtime. He scored 41 games in 101 games in all competitions, to which he added 19 touchdowns.
