He is the man who laid the foundation stone for Argentina’s national teams. From Cesar Luis Menotti, the albiceleste improvisations ended and opened the space for organization, for seriousness. Then came the conquest of the ’78 World Cup in his hands, the ’86 with Carlos Bilardo and Qatar 2022 with Lionel Scaloni. Because of this, AFA did not hesitate and immediately placed the Lionel Andrés Messi complex available for Flaco’s wake.
Menotti will be fired in the Ezeiza property, in the same space where all the Argentine teams train and gather and where named after Leo in just over a year. Within this site that encompasses various buildings, the futsal microstadium was chosen as the setting where a former coach would say goodbye.
Flaco’s wake will be held this Tuesday, between 3 and 10 pm Spanish time. Media access will not be allowed. Only family members, friends and prominent football personalities will be allowed to enter.
Huracán, a club that won Menotti a championship as coach in 1973, offered its stadium for Flaco’s funeral. There was also speculation about its implementation in the National Congress. However, in the end the perfect place was chosen: the AFA and the complex that bears Messi’s name.
