The Argentina national team took second place in the World Cup, losing to Spain in the final.

After this tournament, head coach Lionel Scaloni shared an emotional message with his supporters:

"After a tense week where sadness intertwined with joy, and tears with smiles, I can finally write a few words.

First of all, I want to apologize for not being able to bring home another title and give you another reason to celebrate.”

"But I want you to remember this group of players – my fighters, who worked hard and never gave up even when everything seemed impossible.

That is the real trophy.”

Argentina had the opportunity to defend its title as world football champions and become the third country to achieve this.

Currently, it is unclear what Lionel Scaloni's future will be with the national team.
