Pending official announcement, Argentina assures that the AFA has reached an agreement for the renewal of the coach with the newly crowned champion in Qatar 2022.
"The missing details have been worked out. La Scaloneta will have a new World Cup cycle," journalist Juan Pablo Varsky reported on Wednesday through social media.
Scaloni, 44, took charge of Argentina as a replacement for Jorge Sampaoli, whom he had been an assistant to, after Argentina's failure in the 2018 World Cup, where they were eliminated in the round of 16.
"Scaloni is the coach of the Argentine national team. We both are men of our word, we gave each other our word. I have no doubts that he will continue," Claudio Tapia, president of the Argentine Football Association, had anticipated after the World Cup.
