Scaloni, with tears in his eyes, hinted at his departure from the Argentina national team after the painful defeat...

Argentina head coach Lionel Scaloni left his post-match press conference teary-eyed as he discussed his future after losing to Spain in Sunday's World Cup final. The 48-year-old specialist had the chance to make history by becoming only the second coach to defend the prestigious trophy after Argentina's triumph in Qatar in 2022.

The specialist expressed his deep gratitude to the management and his team for the path taken, noting the self-sacrifice of each participant in the process: "I am grateful to the president for giving me the chance to be where I am now. It was a dream place for everyone. We tried to give our best until the last minute - both the staff and the players. I think it will be fair if I take this time to think about everything," the coach added.

It is very difficult to create again," the helmsman emphasized. In the end, emotions took over. The coach stood up, apologized to the audience and left the hall with the words: "I am very hurt, I am very sorry." We will remind
