Moreover, he also said that he needs to think a lot about what he is going to do. “Argentina needs a coach who has all the energy possible, and who is well.

Lionel Scaloni on the verge of stepping down?
Lionel Scaloni mentioned that his players have a lot to offer for the coaching staff, which is why he needs to think about what he could do. “These players have given a lot to the coaching staff and I need to think a lot about what I’m going to do,” Scaloni mentioned. For him, the bar right now is too high, and it is already getting complicated for them to keep going. “It’s not a goodbye or anything, but I need to think the bar is too high. It’s complicated to keep going, and it’s complicated to keep winning,” he mentioned. However, the members of the Argentinian squad makes it more difficult for him, so he still needs to think about it for a while. “These guys making it difficult, so I need to think about it for a while. I will talk to the FA president, and the players afterwards,” he said.
Lionel Scaloni took over as Argentina’s manager in 2018, where he was able to lead the team for major trophies. In fact, in 2021, he was able to bring Argentina to the summit, helping them to win the Copa America title. That was their first major trophy since the 1993 Copa. Moreover, just recently, they were able to win the 2022 World Cup title, which is their first title in the contest. For Cristian Romero, he remains hopeful that they could make Scaloni stay. “We are sure and hope that Scaloni will continue. Let’s see now he will have time to think; he didn’t say anything in the dressing room about it. We will try to convince him,” he mentioned.
