The new coach of the Argentina National Team has been decided.

Per current interim AFA president Armando PEREZ, the new coach has already been decided. Here’s his quote:
“I’ve already decided on a name for the next coach of Argentina. We’ll announce it in the next few days. I’ll consult with some leaders and see if we can name the new coach today.”

Apparently, the new coach will be one of Ramon DIAZ, Edgardo BAUZA and Miguel Angel RUSSO. PEREZ has not yet announced who it is just yet but a decision has been made.

Mundo Albiceleste’s Transfer page!

Introducing a new section here on Mundo Albiceleste, the Transfers page!

While we will continue to update you on all the transfers involving Argentinian players to and from Europe, it can get a bit difficult to keep track of them all. Which is why we are compilling (and are still working) on the Transfers page. In that section, you will be able to find all the transfers involving Argentinian players in Europe as of June 1, 2016 until present. This page can be accessed through our navigation menu by clicking on TRANSFERS or by clicking this link.

The list also includes those leaving Europe (Fabricio COLOCCINI going to San Lorenzo) and the likes of Geronimo RULLI (signed with Manchester City but remains a Real Sociedad player).

It is a section we are still working on and considering the large number of Argentinian players moving around, it is not always easy to catch. If you feel like we have missed one, do let us know!

Thank you!
