Rumor of BAUZA stepping down, SAMPAOLI taking over

48

A rumor that’s been swirling around the media since Friday and one that would surely make many Argentina fans happy.

There’s a rumor making rounds that in December, Edgardo BAUZA will step down as Argentina National Team coach. The new coach? Well, according to the rumor, it would be Sevilla’s Jorge SAMPAOLI.

I can’t seem to find the original source of the rumor but it’s something which has been reported even in some media outlets in Argentina. The only way I can see this whole thing happening is if the AFA Have a secret agreement going on with Sevilla and SAMPAOLI which would allow him to take over. Other than that, I can’t see how this would happen.

Edgardo BAUZA spoke to the media about the list which he will be announcing on Friday.

With Argentina playing Brazil and Colombia next month, Edgardo BAUZA is getting ready to announce his list of players for those two matches. However, BAUZA spoke to the media on Thursday and here’s what he had to say:

“They’re difficult matches, different matches, we’re going to try and have a solid list of players.”

“There could be one that hasn’t been called-up yet. We’re analyzing.”

“We’re looking for some variations in midfield, there’s some players doing really well in the local league and others outside the country. We try to make as little mistakes as possible.”

“We have the best players but we also play against the best and the mistakes have costed us points in the last matches.”
