AFA to speak to SIMEONE, SAMPAOLI, POCHETTINO

Some more news coming out of Argentina.

The AFA commitee will speak to Diego SIMEONE, Jorge SAMPAOLI and Mauricio POCHETTINO. The crazy idea floating around is that they would like for one (or two, if Jorge SAMPAOLI and Mauricio POCHETTINO agree) to manage the National Team at a part-time basis. Apparently the idea is for the AFA to contact them within the next few days.

What looks to be the most possible thing at the moment is that one of Paton BAUZA and RUSSO would take over the job. As the chances of one of the three mentioned above are slim.
