He wants Messi to reach the World Cup 2026, Lionel Scaloni's latest secret is revealed

A few days ago, the coach of the Argentine National Team, Lionel Scaloni, gave details in an interview to a Spanish media that are linked to his continuity at the helm of the team. He commented, among other things, that he was very happy to be part of the coaching staff he is part of, and that everyone's intention was to extend his contract for four more years, until the 2026 World Cup.

However, he must meet with Chiqui Tapia to make things official, although his stay on the Argentine bench is in no way in danger. The third title in the history of the Albiceleste achieved in Qatar gave him a great benefit, which will be to count, at least for some more time, with Lionel Messi and Angel Di Maria, the two great stars of the roster.

This gives the coach time to plan the gradual changes he plans to make to the regular members of the national team starting in March, when there will be a new FIFA date to measure forces. Even the date and the stadium have been confirmed, but Argentina's opponent is not yet known, although the coach will surprise everyone.

According to sports journalist Gastón Edul, the native of Pujato plans to give Alejandro Garnacho and Nicolás Paz the chance to make their debut with the senior team, something that was widely speculated. Although it is true that they had great chances of being called up, it was not known if they would play. But there is also an explanation for that, and it is quite logical.

The reasons why Scaloni would make them play

According to the aforementioned information, the coach's idea is to make them feel part of the national team and thus, once and for all, dispel the rumors that link them with a possible return to the Spanish team, the country where both were born. They also believe that, especially Garnacho, is ready to take the next step.
