The president of the AFA, Claudio Tapia, avoided this Tuesday giving a confirmation on the renewal of Lionel Scaloni although before the press consultation he said that they wait for “the good news”, in the context of the launch of the candidacy to host the World Cup 2030 together with Paraguay, Uruguay and Chile.
“Wait for the good news, we are used to giving it,” joked Tapia, who seemed uncomfortable with the question at the press conference. It is that although everything seems to be heading for the renewal of Lionel Scaloni, the world champion coach, in recent weeks some economic and procedural differences have come to light that delayed the signing.
“I was distracted,” Tapia argued when asked and took a long time to answer, and even dared to compare himself with a former president of the Nation: “I would say the same phrase as a former president…”, he said.
On the other hand, in direct relation to the 2030 World Cup event, the former president of Barracas Central commented: “Many stadiums were remodeled in our country and in other countries. River, for example, built a magnificent stadium, we have others where the Qualifiers are being played They all comply with the regulations.
“We are happy to dream of being the joint headquarters by 2030. Many times there are favorable moments and being world champions is important. Working with Matías (Lammens) who was an important manager in San Lorenzo makes the task easier for us,” he closed.
