The head coach of Argentina will leave the national team after the Copa America

Argentina's head coach Lionel Scaloni will leave the national team after the 2024 Copa America, as reported by ESPN Fútbol Argentina.

According to sources, Scaloni will be present at the draw for the Copa America but will depart from the national team after the tournament. It's worth noting that the possibility of Lionel Scaloni leaving his position as the head coach of Argentina has been hinted at during conversations with journalists.

"I would like to emphasize one important thing: I need time to reflect on my future with the national team. These players have given me so much. They have made a huge contribution to the work of the entire coaching staff. I need to seriously consider my plans.

It's not a farewell or something like that, but I need to think about it because the standards are very high. It becomes increasingly difficult to continue winning, and these guys make it even harder. I will inform the president (of the Argentine Football Association) and the players because this team needs a coach with energy and feels good about it," said Scaloni, as quoted by TyC Sports.

Scaloni took charge of the Argentina national team in 2018, leading them to victory in the 2021 Copa America, the CONMEBOL-UEFA Champions Cup (2021/2022), and the 2022 FIFA World Cup.
