Lionel Scaloni has been named the South American Coach of the Year.
Prestigious media outlet El País has announced that Argentina national team coach Lionel Scaloni has been named as the South American Coach of the Year, and by some distance. The award is given annualy and Scaloni finished ahead of Palmeiras coach Abel Ferreira.
Scaloni received 107 votes as Ferreira received 35 votes. Winning the FIFA World Cup and the Finalissima in 2022, Scaloni was also named as FIFA The Best Men’s Coach of the Year, having won the award last month.
His reign as Argentina coach will continue with two friendly matches this month.
Good for him. If he can fix his substitution strategy and tone down the favoritism (although I suspect it comes from AFA, not Scaloni personally), he will achieve many great things in the long future ahead of him.
Scalony proved he is the best coach now. He needs to work hard to acclaim the best ever coach of history of football.
Congratulations Lionel Scaloni, a name of nowhere become the world’s best coach. Inspiring!
I bought a scaloni signed photo of him holding the trophy 🏆. Not really investment but makes me damn happy
osimhen and haaland are two best strikers atm. theyre not just good but monstereous…
You are good if you win world cup…if not you are just striker
I empathize with that sentiment as a fellow fan of El Leo being on the receiving end of such comments many times. But it is no truer in this case as it was in case of Messi.
great humble coach.
100% deserved. Won COPA and dominated Qualifier bar Brazil but Brazil choked in world cup.
