tapia and scaloni, the key names in the negotiation / twitter
The smiles still persist on the faces of the 26 protagonists, the coaching staff and the Argentine delegation, the last to leave the Middle East after the consecration against France.
However, as the hours go by, a question appears to be resolved as soon as possible: the renewal of the world champion coach, Lionel Scaloni.
And it is that although in September Claudio Tapia had anticipated the facts, stating on his personal Twitter account that everything was already arranged until 2026 with the protagonist in question, the coach born in Pujato has not yet signed the cycle that both players and leaders, and a large part of the 45 million Argentines, want it not to be cut off abruptly.
For now, the rumors speak of several better ones that the ex-lateral of the Argentine National Team raised both for himself and for his collaborators, which are not only aimed at the economic aspect, something no less in the negotiation.
In fact, his contract is one of the lowest that a national strategist has had throughout history, an issue that deserves a new analysis and especially an update after a process in which the 2021 Copa América was obtained at the Maracaná against Brazil, the Finalissima against Italy at Wembley and nothing more and nothing less than the World Cup, elusive for long 36 years.
Given this, both Tapia’s desire and that of the protagonists in Qatar is for Scaloni to continue in charge of the Major, along with his entire coaching staff.
In fact, just a few hours ago, the president of the AFA himself declared that: “Scaloni began a process for 10 more years of Selection.”
“He had a great capacity, he formed a group, he started a project for 8 or 10 more years of selection,” were the words of the leader.
the players ask for him
In addition to Tapia’s clear message, the players spoke at all times in favor of its continuity.
Both in the massive celebrations, already in the country, and those that took place some time ago in the locker room, glass in hand, the request was unanimous for the 44-year-old coach: “Sign the contract, the p… that gave birth to you ”.
