Lionel Scaloni will remain as Argentina’s national team coach through the 2026 World Cup.
Chiqui Tapia, president of the Argentine Football
Association, made the announcement after Tuesday night’s 3-0 win over Jamaica
in the Albiceleste’s next-to-last tuneup match for this year’s World Cup.
“We continue to bet on the comprehensive national team
project,” Tapia said.
Scaloni, 44, replaced Jorge Sampaoli as coach after Argentina
lost to France in the round of 16 at the 2018 World Cup. Argentina won last
year’s Copa América for its first major title since the 1993 Copa América and
is on a 35-game unbeaten streak since a loss to Brazil at the Copa América on
July 2, 2019. -AP
