Lionel Scaloni became the finest Argentina national team coach after winning four consecutive titles after 28 years without one. After winning the 2022 World Cup with Lionel Messi, Scaloni said he “almost left” Argentina.
After winning the trophy against France, the Argentine coach told Neura Media’s Alejandro Fantino, “I wasn’t feeling alright after the World Cup, after Brazil and El Maracana.” My discomfort led to the emergence of new fears. Six months after the World Cup, we had to compete for the qualifiers again.”
When asked if he felt desperate or in pain, Scaloni replied bluntly. I didn’t talk to anyone, so I couldn’t tell you. I preserved my wife’s advice to see a professional for me. After the Maracana, I said, ‘I have to think’ since I wasn’t 100%,” he remarked.
“Maybe thinking about your accomplishments is counterproductive. I discussed this with my coaching team, wife, and Pablo Aimar. The Argentine added that if you think we’ve accomplished something fantastic in terms of titles, you wonder what’s next. We always want more, so people beg for more, and your head starts wondering, ‘What would be more than this?’ That’s why I don’t think thinking helps,” he said.
