Scaloni led Argentina’s coaching staff in 2018, and in Qatar he fulfilled the nation’s dream: he won the world title.

In addition to the trophy won at the end of last year, the Argentine coach also boasts the Copa America (2021) and the CONMEBOL-UEFA Champions Cup (2022 – known as Finalissima).

Messi, the best in history, above Maradona – Says Scaloni

“The World Cup was an incredible film and an incredible journey. The key to the whole tournament was enjoying the knowledge of how tough it was and that anyone could win the trophy.

Until the 80th minute, I knew it was going to be a spectacular match, but then everything changed. I have images in my head even now. But Argentina’s victory came because of the community that was built around this team.

If I had to choose one of them, I would choose Leo, with whom I have a special relationship. He is the best player in history, but Maradona was brilliant” – Lionel Scalonireports EFE, reports Agerpres.
