Argentina’s U20 team has a new coach and the process of how he was chosen was made in typical AFA fashion.

Former Racing Club player Claudio UBEDA (who’s only managerial experience is coaching Huracan in 2008) has been named the new coach by the AFA. A total of 44 coaches sent in projects to the AFA to be the new Argentina U20 team. However, the AFA picked UBEDA, who was not among those 44 and he did not send in a folder with a project.

Gerardo SALORIO and Fernando BATISTA will be part of his coaching staff. In January, there’s the U20 South American championship which is going to run between January 13 until February 5 in Ecuador.
