The coach of the National Team, Lionel Scaloni, participated this Thursday night in the draw for the Copa América 2024 fixture in the United States and was consulted about his future at the head of the National Team. He explained that he has not yet defined what he will do. “I’m still thinking about my decision,” he said.
“I said it after the game with Brazil that it is a personal moment to think and I am in that instance, to think. It is important after everything that was achieved. We have to think about everything that is coming and see what we do,” said the coach in statements to TyC Sports.
The coach of the world champions tried to take the drama out of the situation. “It’s important to stop the ball, talk. There’s nothing strange,” he added.
In this sense, he pointed out that “the players are very good” and “the team is very good” and that “they need a coach who is good, with all the energy.” And he remarked: “They need a coach at their level. It is a time to think.”
“If the position is so important and has so much significance, things need to be done well, with a person 100 percent focused, who knows well what is coming. Important things are coming, very demanding,” he said.
And he added that this moment is “to think” because “there is time for the next match of the National Team.”
Finally, the world champion coach acknowledged that he maintains contact with the team captain, Lionel Messi: “I spoke after the locker room at the Maracaná. I agreed to talk again. He is the captain and I have a great relationship with him.”
