End of the road for Scaloni? AFA decides on Lionel Scaloni's future as Argentina head coach

The final decision rests with Scaloni himself.

Details: According to Diego Monroig, the leadership of the Argentine Football Association (AFA) is confident that Lionel Scaloni will continue working with the national team beyond the end of this year.

Despite the disappointing conclusion to the 2026 World Cup, where Argentina fell short in the final, the Federation still has full faith in the coach who has led the national side to its greatest successes in recent years.

Sources report that AFA management is not considering a coaching change and expects Scaloni to remain at the helm for the coming years, maintaining the continuity of the project and the team's developmental direction.

Ultimately, the decision is up to Scaloni himself, but within the Federation, there is strong confidence that he will stay in charge of the reigning World Cup runners-up.
