"I have a lot of time to think. These players have given me a lot, me and the coaching staff. I need to think about what to do next. It's not goodbye or anything special, but I need to think about it because the bar is too high and it's hard to keep winning. Now is the time to think, I will tell the president, and later the players, because the national team needs a coach who has enough emotion and health,” Scaloni is quoted as saying by TyC Sports.
Scaloni is 45 years old, he has been leading the team since 2018 of the year. At the 2022 World Championships in Qatar, the Argentine specialist led the team to gold medals.
