According to the Spanish press, Real Madrid has initiated talks with Lionel Scaloni, the coach of Argentina, who just won the World Cup, amid uncertainties surrounding Carlo Ancelotti’s future.

According to Doble Amarilla, Real Madrid’s management unexpectedly initiated preliminary talks with coach Scaloni’s squad after the Argentine military chief delivered contradictory signals following Argentina’s triumph over Brazil in the 2026 World Cup qualifiers. His prospects at the Albiceleste.

“After winning the 2022 World Championship in Qatar, Lionel Scaloni drew significant interest from top teams.” Real Madrid is one of them. Los Blancos executives have made significant moves to bring Scaloni to the Bernabeu, replacing Carlo Ancelotti, who may leave the club this summer to coach the Brazilian national team,” Doble Amarilla remarked.

The 45-year-old thinker is a teacher and Lionel Messi’s close buddy. Scaloni took over as Argentina’s coach following the 2018 World Cup, in which Albiceleste was defeated in the 1/8 round by France, the eventual champion. And right from the start, as he led Argentina to the biggest playground on the planet, Scaloni helped the host team reach the pinnacle of success.

And now, if Scaloni is no longer Argentina’s coach, will 36-year-old superstar Messi bid farewell to his international career? King Leo has often mulled leaving the Albiceleste, and it is likely that if coach Scaloni joins Real Madrid, he will also end his journey with the national team.

While Real begins the crucial stretch of the season, Scaloni has completed Argentina’s 2023 calendar year. This military leader, born in 1978, now has plenty of time to negotiate, bargain, think about, and plan his future.

Scaloni has led Argentina to 46 victories, 15 draws, and only six defeats in 67 matches since taking over on August 3, 2018, for a winning percentage of 68.66%.
