Diego Placente is set to become the new Argentina U20 national team coach.
Placente will replace Javier Mascherano who will be stepping down as coach of the Argentina U20 national team to manage Inter Miami. Placente has been managing the Argentina U15 and U17 teams.
He would be coaching the team at the 2025 South American U20 tournament that will be taking place in Peru.
Based on what i’ve seen from his u17 team, this maybe the best news since Sabella replaced Batista all the way back in 2011.
As for Mascherano…well good riddance!
It will be a fun to watch under 20 under placente he is very attacking minded coach
