Scaloni to reach 100 games as Argentina boss

This Friday, Lionel Scaloni will reach a new milestone in charge of the Argentina National Team: his 100th match as head coach of the national side. The mark will come in the clash against Cape Verde in the Round of 32 of the 2026 World Cup, starting at 7:00 p.m. at Hard Rock Stadium in Miami.

The coach’s tenure began on September 8, 2018, in a friendly against Guatemala played in Los Angeles, and since then he has built one of the most successful eras in the Albiceleste’s recent history.
