Lionel Scaloni received very bad news this Friday: he learned that he will not be able to direct the Argentine National Team in Saturday’s game against Peru, in the closing match of Group A of the Copa America of the United States.
The Argentine coach, who I had already decided to stop an alternative eleven given that his team has already secured qualification for the quarterfinals – but not first place in the area -, He was sanctioned by Conmebol for having entered the field late in previous games.
Argentina, which has just beaten Canada and Chile in its first two presentations, will have to look for a draw without their coach on the bench to secure first place in the group with a view to the quarter-final matches.
In addition to the coach’s suspension, The Argentine Football Association (AFA) received a fine of 15 thousand dollars.
Another Argentine coach suffered the same fate: Ricardo Gareca, the tactical leader of Chile, who shares the area with Argentina and that will close its participation in the group stage also on Saturday against Canada. The reason? The same as Scaloni.
