20 days have passed since ‘the Maracaná bomb’ was activated. No, it was not the historic victory of the Argentine National Team once morest Brazil, which for the first time stumbled at home in the World Cup Qualifiers. But the memory is for that response from Lionel Scaloni in the middle of a press conference in which he opened the doors to a possible exit as coach of the Albiceleste, in a totally unexpected moment, by moment and by context.
And in that time that passed, beyond the meeting he had a week ago in Miami with the president of AFA, Claudio Chiqui Tapiathe Santa Fe coach confessed this Wednesday that nothing has changed regarding his position of evaluating whether he is in a position to continue leading the world champion team.

The ‘Gringo’ of the city of Pujato was at the Metropolitan stadium to witness the Champions League match between Atlético de Madrid and Lazio. There he insisted on several phrases that he had repeated following the Copa América 2024 draw, such as that “It’s time to start thinking” if with their coaching staff they are “trained to perform at their best next year”.
“I believe that in all processes there are moments to stop the ball and start thinking. Set goals and think regarding next year and whether we are capable as a coaching staff to carry out what we did and that is what we are working on. The objective is to compete once more at the highest level with what we have”said Scaloni.
“That’s where we are, nothing has changed since that day”complete.
Beyond that, he continues to do his job as national coach. Because following his presence last week in the United States to bring the Copa América trophy to the stage as the current champion of that competition, this Wednesday he confided that he was speaking with the three Argentines from ‘Aleti’, who are usually in the consideration of him.
“That’s why we came. Today we were talking with Rodrigo de Paul, Nahuel Molina and Angel Correa. We are attentive to what interests us”he explained.
Finally, he gave his opinion on the current situation of Atlético de Madrid, which won its group once morest Lazio, Feyenoord from the Netherlands and Celtic from Scotland: “As always he is competitive and he is up there. It is very important to be first in his area as the competition is this year”.
