After the Argentina team lost to Spain in the FIFA World Cup final, head coach Scaloni expressed his hesitation about the future at the post-match press conference, attracting widespread attention. In response, Claudio Tapia, president of the Argentine Football Association, publicly voiced his support for the coach who led the team to brilliant achievements, through social media.

After the FIFA World Cup final, Scaloni emotionally spoke about his future at the press conference. He admitted that he needed time to seriously consider whether to continue coaching the Argentine national team, a statement that cast uncertainty over the team's future direction.

Facing this situation, Tapia quickly expressed support. He posted two photos on social media of himself embracing Scaloni at the awards ceremony, writing: "Gringo, you are incredible. We are proud of your work, your dedication, and your love for this national team."

When asked about the future, Scaloni provided a detailed response at the press conference.

Reporter: Have you communicated with Messi about future plans? Have you personally made a decision?

Scaloni: Actually, I haven't talked to Leo yet. As for myself, I will talk to the president. I probably already know what I want to do, I will fulfill my contract, and then we'll see. To be honest, I feel I need to think seriously because I don't know if we can achieve something as great as this again, maybe we need to sit down and talk. I am very grateful to the president for giving me the opportunity to be in this position.

He then further discussed the pressure of coaching the Argentina team.

Reporter: What does it mean to you to maintain a high level of performance for consecutive years?

Scaloni: This is a position everyone dreams of. As a coaching staff, we worked hard until the last moment, and so did the players, we all gave everything we could. I think it's fair for me to have some time to think seriously.

During his answer, Scaloni became emotional and found it difficult to continue speaking.

Reporter: You just mentioned that this position means a lot to you, can you elaborate on your feelings?

Scaloni: This position is so beautiful, truly so beautiful. It's a dream position, I never thought in my life... I'll stop here because I can't go on. I never thought in my life, or rather, none of us on the coaching staff ever thought we could be in this position. So, to continue, it requires many things, most importantly to readjust ourselves and reassemble a team like this one. But a team like this will probably be difficult to achieve again, which breaks my heart. I'm sorry...

Currently, Scaloni's contract with the Argentine Football Association extends until December 2026. After communicating with Tapia, he will make a final decision on whether to continue coaching the senior Argentine national team.
