Headline: Argentina’s Scaloni Confirms Continued Leadership Through 2030 World Cup
The biggest-name Lionel has retired from the Argentina national team.
But the other one’s stay was confirmed this Thursday (12).
Scaloni appeared at a press conference to officially announce that he will remain in charge of the Albiceleste through the 2030 World Cup cycle.
It was under his leadership that Argentina ended a frustrating trophy drought.

Before the 2021 Copa América triumph over Brazil at the Maracanã, their last trophy had come in the 1993 edition of the same tournament.
That was followed by the 2022 Finalissima against Italy, the long-awaited World Cup title later that year against then-champions France, and the 2024 Copa América.
His record stands at 107 matches, with 83 wins, 14 draws and just ten defeats.
Scaloni’s main challenge will be to keep the Albiceleste competitive without Lionel Messi.
And he has several young talents already playing at a high level to help him do that.
They include Nico Paz (Como), Soulé (Roma) and Prestianni (Benfica).
