Mascherano ruled out directing the senior national team in the future: “I’m not the right one”

Javier Mascherano supported the continuity of Lionel Scaloni in the Argentine national team.

“If everything goes well in the Pre-Olympic, hopefully Scaloni can lead the U-23. That would allow us to know that he continues until 2026”remarked the former central midfielder.

On the other hand, he highlighted that the world champion coach in Qatar 2022 “is very close to the Youth Championships.” In this regard, he added that “That is great for our Coaching Staff. Having him as a source of consultation is spectacular and we value it.”

At the same time, Mascherano referred to the case of Julian Malatiniwho was bought by Werder Bremen of Germany and finally it will not be transferred to Pre-Olympic despite being part of the list, so the Argentine team will only have 22 players.

“I don’t share the decision that Julián made. I let him know, but hey, everyone can make the decision they want. If they notified us of the negotiation, we would have been able to handle it differently.”said the “Little Boss.”

And he added: “If I had known about Malatini before, I would have given other guys the opportunity. We had leaned towards him because he gave us the opportunity to play in different positions.”
