Lionel Scaloni, Argentina's coach, opened the door to his departure from his position in the coming period, noting that the tango needs a coach "full of energy and in good condition."
Scaloni's statements came in the wake of the "Super Clásico" victory over Brazil 1-0 at the Maracana Stadium in the 2026 World Cup qualifiers.
Speaking, the Argentine coach said, "It is time to think about a new step. I gave everything I had and these stars gave me everything I wanted."
He also added, "The level of aspirations is very high, and requires maximum effort, and continuing victories is difficult."
He concluded, "The national team needs a coach who has maximum energy and is in good condition, and a new step must be considered."
After the end of the Brazil match, Scaloni raised many mysteries after he asked his assistant staff and the players to take a souvenir photo at the Maracana Stadium, as if it were their last together.
But at the same time, TYC noted that Scaloni never spoke to the Argentine players in the locker room about his intention to leave his position.
The network, which is close to Argentine football circles, attributed these controversial statements by Scaloni to a sharp dispute that broke out between him and the President of the Argentine Federation, Claudio Tapia, in recent months.
Scaloni, 45 years old, took over the task of coaching Argentina in 2018, and succeeded in returning the “Land of Silver” to the championship podium by achieving the Copa America, and then the greatest achievement of achieving the 2022 World Cup in Qatar.
