Argentina's Football Association announced that Lionel Scaloni has agreed to extend his contract as national team manager, keeping him in the position until after the 2030 World Cup in Uruguay, Argentina and Paraguay.
Scaloni, who guided Argentina to World Cup glory in Qatar in 2022, expressed his commitment to the role despite the demands of international football. He indicated that his passion for coaching the Albiceleste had not diminished since he first arrived in the position.
The 46-year-old's tenure has transformed Argentina into one of the sport's dominant forces. Under his leadership, the team won the Copa América in 2021 and reached the final again in 2024, cementing his status as one of South America's most successful coaches.
Scaloni's contract extension provides continuity for the Argentine national team as it aims to build on recent successes. The agreement ensures stable leadership during the qualification process for the 2026 World Cup in North America and through to the 2030 tournament.
