Scaloni alert: US poach key Argentina coaching staff member | OneFootball

Although there won't be a FIFA Date until March of next year, every member of the Argentine National Team is already fully focused on the next World Cup after learning about both their group stage opponents and the venues where they will play their first three matches in the United States, the host country along with Mexico and Canada.

In this final stretch towards defending the title won in Qatar, Lionel Scaloni received the news of the departure of an important part of the structure he has led for seven years, as Bernardo Romeo will no longer be the coordinator of AFA's youth teams.

The former forward, who has held the position since 2020 and worked in constant contact with the coach of the senior team, with an integrated approach that enhances the connection between different categories, will end his contract on December 31 and will not renew it in order to take a job offer he received from abroad.

Although the name of the club has not been disclosed, Romeo will be in charge of coordinating the long-term project of a team that plays in the United Soccer League, the second tier of soccer in the United States, with one of its main goals being to enter the MLS, the elite category.

The importance of the loss for AFA can be measured especially in the constant contact and good rapport he generated with the coaches and collaborators of the different teams throughout his tenure, from Scaloni himself to Pablo Aimar, Diego Placente, Walter Samuel, and Facundo Quiróga.
