Less than a week left on the current contract between the Argentine Football Federation (AFA) and the world champion coach Lionel Scaloni expires, and beyond the verbal agreement signed after obtaining the Final at Wembley, the passing of days increases the uncertainty. The good progress of the national team under the command of the Santa Fe coach cannot be hidden in his four years in charge and in the AFA remains optimistic about the possibility of formalizing the deal.

He was the president of the AFA, Claudius chiki Wallwho trusted Scaloni’s work from the start after the unsuccessful trial of Jorge Sampaoli in September 2018, who arrived this Monday in his home province of San Juan to attend an event with the World Cup trophy present and to talk about an issue that was superimposed by gaining the title in Qatar.

Tapia’s word reassures the fans of the national team because he has hinted that Scaloni’s success will have its continuity. Just three months ago he had expressed himself in an -almost-official way on his social networks by verbally announcing an “agreement” for the coach born in Pujato, Santa Fe, until 2026.

“I am proud to tell you that we have solved the problem continuity of Lionel Scaloni as coach of Argentina until the 2026 World Cup. We continue to bet on the integral project of the selections. There’s Scaloneta for a while!! “, the president had published on August 28 of this year, before the World Cup where he was crowned champion.

But, although Tapia appeared in August publicly confirming the news, The signature of Lionel Scaloni is missing so that everything is official.

Positive statistics on the process in the selected team confirm Tapia’s confidence in the coach. Until now, he was in charge of the team 57 matches where got 37 wins, 15 draws he is alone lost 5. To support the team’s strong performance across all lines, the team achieved 113 goals for and just suffered 35 vs. Also, she crowned him with three titlesending a 28-year drought for the national team.

In addition to the support of the AFA president, the campus also wants the ‘Gringo’ to continue in office. During the festivities held inside the Lusail stadium changing rooms following the consecration of the staggeredvideos could be seen of players chanting to the coach to sign a contract and even urging Chiqui Tapia to use part of the prize money he got for the win to renew his DT contract.

He also has the support of the Albiceleste fans, who have identified with the characteristics of the coach. So much so that this Monday a crowd dismissed the coach at Ezeiza airport where it embarked on a return journey to Mallorca Spain after its rest in Pujato where it visited family, friends and received a very emotional accolade for the title.

From word of mouth it seems to be on the right track. All that remains is to adjust the details on the contract, so Scaloni affixes his signature and the reigning world champion coach continues to lead the team staggered.
