Scaloni: Now begins an important and exciting period for the Argentine national team

Lionel Scaloni has spoken publicly for the first time about his future as Argentina head coach ahead of the international break. The specialist did not make an unequivocal statement about extending the contract, but his words indicate his intention to work with the team in the future. In the near future, the Argentines will play three friendly matches. In addition, the team is preparing to say goodbye to Lionel Messi, who has been a key figure in the national team for a long time. Scaloni noted that in the next matches the coaching staff wants to provide more opportunities to young footballers and help them adapt to the demands of the team. "We will try to show a good game, but this is not the main thing. Many players really deserved their call to the national team - this is our intention in the upcoming matches: to give young players the opportunity to adapt to our style of play. Now an important and exciting period begins," Scaloni said. Lionel Scaloni has been leading the Argentina national team since 2018. Under his leadership, the team won the America's Cup and the 2022 World Cup.
