In addition, the Argentina National Team also paid tribute to Russo. Upon hearing the sad news during last Wednesday’s training session in Miami, Lionel Scaloni gathered the players to observe a minute of silence at midfield.

For his part, Leandro Paredes, who is currently called up to the Albiceleste and was coached by Russo upon his return to the Ribera squad, also spoke out on his Instagram account with a heartfelt farewell message for the coach.
