Lionel Scaloni: Argentina's World Cup-winning boss says he may resign

Argentina's World Cup-winning boss Lionel Scaloni says he is considering resigning after five years in the role.

Scaloni made the surprise announcement after Argentina's 1-0 World Cup qualifying win over Brazil in Rio de Janeiro on Tuesday.

The 45-year-old also led Argentina to the Copa America in 2021 before their World Cup triumph in Qatar last year.

"Argentina needs a coach who has all the energy possible and who is well," said Scaloni.

"I need to stop the ball and start thinking, I have a lot of things to think about during this time.

"It's not goodbye or anything, but I need to think because the bar is very high and it's complicated to keep going and it's complicated to keep winning.

"These 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."
