Argentina youth teams steady, Scaloni’s future in doubt | OneFootball

The AFA officially announced the renewal of the coaching staff for the national youth, women's, and beach soccer teams, all with contracts extended for another year. Among them, Diego Placente's continuation as head of the U-20 and U-17 men's teams stands out.

The situation is different for Lionel Scaloni. Although Claudio “Chiqui” Tapia offered him a contract extension and the coach expressed his intention to continue, there have been no formal advances regarding duration or financial aspects. His current contract expires after the 2026 World Cup.

AFA indicated that discussions could deepen after the World Cup, while Scaloni remains focused on the current sports scenario. The renewal of the coaching staff strengthens the comprehensive national team project, although the future of the senior team's coach remains open.
