Argentina coach Lionel Scaloni says he is considering stepping down after five years in the role.
Scaloni made the surprise announcement after Argentina’s 1-0 World Cup qualifier win over Brazil in Rio de Janeiro on Tuesday.
The 45-year-old also led Argentina to the Copa America in 2021 before last year’s World Cup triumph in Qatar.
“Argentina needs a coach who has all the energy possible and who is good,” Scaloni said.
“I have to stop the ball and start thinking, I have a lot to think about during this time. It’s not goodbye or anything, but I have to think because it’s complicated to keep going and it’s complicated to keep winning. These guys are making it hard, so I have to think about it for a while. I will talk to the president of the FA and the players afterwards”, concluded the Argentine coach.
Scaloni succeeded Jorge Sampaoli as Argentina coach in August 2018 after a brief deal in charge of the U20 team.
