Lionel Scaloni went from villain to hero in his home country for several years. Argentina, a country that thrives on soccer like few others, has cried out against the appointment of the Albiceleste’s new coach, appealing to his lack of experience in the world of banking. He, however, took the criticism naturally, formed a good working group and dedicated himself to ‘working’.
Now, less than five years after taking office, Scaloni can boast of having won the World Cup in Qatar with Argentina and, a few months earlier, the Copa América in Brazil. There. Messi isn’t the only one who ended up establishing himself at the national team level in his country.
In the same week, in an interview with Cope, Scaloni openly acknowledged that Luis de la Fuente, now the coach of Spain, had been one of his teachers at the coaching school. School where he made a pineapple with aspiring bench tenants such as Iraola, Orbaiz, Gurpegi, Manuel Pablo, Valerón… “We form a beautiful band,” said the Albiceleste coach with a laugh.
In this modern football, it’s great to meet guys like Scaloni. Men who, despite being world champions, still have their feet on the ground and their heads in their place. Cheers!
