Crowned world champion in December, the Argentine coach was logically extended by his federation. He is now under contract until the 2026 World Cup.
After the world title, its extension was expected, it is now done. Lionel Scaloni, who arrived on tiptoe in 2018, won all the possible trophies with the Albiceleste. He is the coach of a team that is currently world champion, Copa America title holder and winner of the Finallissima. Until then, he has a record of 37 wins and only five defeats in 57 games.
Suffice to say that it is difficult to do better and that his extension is therefore a logical continuation of his good results on the Argentine bench. If he goes to the end of his contract, he will play a new Copa America in 2024 and the World Cup in 2026. With or without Messi in his team? The future will tell.
