Argentina head coach Lionel Scaloni has addressed growing speculation over his future following his side's 1-0 defeat to Spain in the 2026 FIFA World Cup final.
The loss ended Argentina's hopes of retaining the World Cup crown, with Spain lifting the trophy after an outstanding tournament. Speaking after the match, an emotional Scaloni admitted he is yet to decide whether he will remain in charge of the Albiceleste, insisting he needs time to reflect before making any decision.
The 48-year-old praised his players for their commitment throughout the competition, saying they had given everything despite falling at the final hurdle. Scaloni acknowledged the pain of the defeat but stressed that it was not the right moment to discuss his future.
"I need time to think. This isn't the moment to make decisions. We have to talk with the federation, but right now I'm only thinking about what these players have achieved," Scaloni said.
