Jakarta, CNNIndonesia —
Sergio Aguero suddenly became a conversation because he was involved in a championship celebration World Cup 2022 with the Argentina national team, Sunday (18/12).
Aguero officially retired in March 2022 due to heart problems and prevented him from appearing at the 2022 World Cup as a player.
However, the former Barcelona and Manchester City player suddenly appeared at the ceremony of lifting the 2022 World Cup trophy.
Several sources said Aguero could join the La Albiceleste team because he was registered as an assistant coach in the final match against France which was held at the Lusail Stadium, Qatar.
“Sergio Aguero has been officially registered by Argentina as assistant coach for the final, meaning he has a FIFA World Cup winner’s medal,” wrote Instagram Footbal.newz.
This news has not been confirmed because until now the AFA (Argentine Football Federation) has not made an official statement.
While The Athletic revealed, Aguero had actually been offered an assistant coach since retiring at Barcelona due to heart problems. However, the 33-year-old striker refused and said he wanted to rest.
Other sources say Aguero only uses VIP and media passes that are given specifically to team legends.

Not only that, Aguero was also seen chatting with the Argentine players like a coach. Even Aguero, who participated in the training of the Argentine team, scored a beautiful goal.
Scaloni even allowed Aguero to be the roommate of the superstar Lionel Messi. Understandably, these two players are close friends and indeed routinely become roommates when defending Argentina.
