Argentina\u2019s World Cup-winning manager Lionel Scaloni made the stunning admission that he was contemplating walking away from his position after his team achieved the rare feat of beating Brazil in Rio de Janeiro on Tuesday.<\/p>\n

Scaloni\u2019s shocking pronouncement about his future came out of nowhere during his press conference at the Maracana Stadium, where Argentina had beaten their rivals 1-0 to stay top of the South American qualifying standings for the 2026 World Cup.<\/p>\n

\u201cArgentina needs a coach who has all the energy possible and who is well … I need to stop the ball and start thinking, I have a lot of things to think about during this time,\u201d Scaloni, who took no questions, said in his opening remarks.<\/p>\n

\u201cThese players have given a lot to the coaching staff and I need to think a lot about what I\u2019m going to do.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s not goodbye or anything, but I need to think because the bar is very high and it\u2019s complicated to keep going and it\u2019s complicated to keep winning.<\/p>\n

\u201cThese guys are making it difficult, so I need to think about it for a while. I will talk to the FA president and the players afterwards.\u201d<\/p>\n

The 45-year-old took over as manager in 2018 and led Argentina to the Copa America title in 2021 — their first major trophy since the 1986 World Cup — before the Albiceleste landed their third global title in Qatar last year.<\/p>\n

His captain Lionel Messi retired from the international game in 2016 before returning to reassume the huge burden of expectation of success from a country where football has been likened to a religion.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are sure and hope that Scaloni will continue,\u201d Argentina defender Cristian Romero told reporters.<\/p>\n

\u201cLet\u2019s see now he will have time to think, he didn\u2019t say anything in the dressing room about it. We will try to convince him.\u201d<\/p>\n
