Hernan Crespo: “I’d like to coach Argentina to a World Cup title”

Hernan Crespo has stated that he would one day like to coach the Argentina national team and to become a World Cup winner.

Crespo is currently managing Defensa y Justicia in Argentina but speaking in an interview with El Show de la Oral, the former striker also showed his admiration towards his former coach, Marcelo Bielsa. Speaking about coaching Argentina, here’s what he had to say:

“I dream about being the coach of the Argentina national team and to achieve something I couldn’t do as a player: To be a World Cup champion.”

Regarding Marcelo Bielsa:

“I continue to admire the way Bielsa trains his players and makes them better. It’s one of the things I try to copy in my job.”

With the Argentina national team, Crespo played in three World Cups and has also managed Modena in Italy and Banfield in Argentina.

Argentina coach Lionel Scaloni: “Mauro Icardi is still in our plans”

Argentina national team coach Lionel Scaloni spoke about Mauro Icardi’s exclusion from the team.

Lionel Scaloni gave Mauro Icardi several call-ups when first taking over as coach of Argentina. However, Icardi was later dropped from the team and did not make the Copa America squad. Speaking in an interview with DirecTV Sports, here’s what he had to say:

“Icardi is still in our plans. He knows very well how things are. I spoke with him on the phone when he was in conflict with Inter.

“I explained to him that he was going to be out because the others were playing with their clubs. And after the Copa America, Lucas Alario ended up appearing. But Mauro is not out, he’s included. He’s at the right age to be a great goal scorer.”

Lazio interested in Rodrigo De Paul of Udinese

Lazio are reportedly interested in signing Rodrigo De Paul of Udinese.

Rodrigo De Paul could be joining Lazio should a sale go through for them. Per a report by La Gazzetta, Lazio could be looking to sell Milinkovic-Savic and if they do, the Argentine looks to be the prime replacement.

De Paul has been at the club since 2016, becoming a regular starter in the team and has been linked with a move to Inter but Lazio appear to be the front runners to sign him. Udinese reportedly want €40 million for him with Lazio offering €30 million.
