Argentine Eduardo BERIZZO has been named as the new coach of Paraguay.
The former Argentina man was named as the new coach of Paraguay on Monday following rumors that he would be named as the new manager. BERIZZO has previously managed Estudiantes de la Plata, O’Higgins, Celta, Sevilla and Athletic Bilbao.
He managed to win the Primera in Chile as well as the Supercopa de Chile during his entire managerial career.
Angel DI MARIA has not been called-up to the Argentina team since the 2018 FIFA World Cup and he’s given his thoughts on it.
Speaking in an interview with ESPN, the PSG midfielder has stated that at times he’s been told he looked nervous while playing. Here’s what he had to say:
“It’s been three call-ups where I haven’t been included and I’ve felt it a lot. I watched the matches and it hurts not being there. My wife told me that it was noticeable that, while playing, I was nervous. They are things that only those who wear the shirt know how to live with.”
