Lionel Scaloni, manager of the Argentina national team, has indicated his desire to continue in his role, despite earlier speculation about his departure. This comes as the team faces significant changes, including Lionel Messi's impending retirement from international duty after his final game on October 6, and the potential retirements of Nicolas Otamendi, Leandro Paredes, and Rodrigo De Paul. Scaloni's contract is set to expire at the end of 2026, and he is currently in discussions with the AFA for a renewal. His decision to stay offers stability to the reigning Copa America champions and 2026 FIFA World Cup runners-up, who are preparing for a friendly against Bolivia. Scaloni emphasized his motivation and the strong group built since 2021 as reasons for wanting to continue.
