Argentina Head Coach Lionel Sebastian Scaloni

Scaloni played two significant roles in his football career.

He played as a right back and also played as a right midfielder. He played in broad ranges.

Lionel Sebastian Scaloni was born on 16th May 1978 in Santa Fe Province in Argentina.

Sebastian Scaloni took over as Argentina's manager in 2018 following the country's failure to reach the quarter-finals and perhaps the finals in Brazil as they did in 2014.

Lionel Scaloni took over a broken Argentina team in 2018, a squad that had lost three straight finals and got eliminated in the round of 16 in the 2018 FIFA World Cup in Russia.

He led the squad to triumph in the 2021 Copa America, where he won, giving Argentina their first major trophy since 1993.

Lionel Scaloni knew what he was doing with the current Argentina squad, which has a few senior players and many other young players.

He led Argentina to qualify for the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar.

Unexpectedly, Argentina dropped their first game of the 2022 FIFA World Cup to Saudi Arabia, who were among the most sides in the World Cup before their elimination.

The match saw Saudi Arabia players benefit from Rolls Royce vehicles promised to them by their King for defeating Argentina.

However, Argentina went ahead and recollected themselves as the World Cup continued emerging the first in their group stage, eliminating the Dutch side the Netherlands in the quarter-finals, and proceeded to face Croatia in the semi-finals, stopping them as well.

Lionel Scaloni is a little famous in the coaching industry. Yet he has established a reputation for himself, with only one game away from winning the World Cup on Sunday when facing Morocco or France.
