World Cup 2026: Argentina players give coach Lionel Scaloni nickname
Argentina head coach, Lionel Scaloni, has revealed that his players gave him a nickname called ‘cry baby’ because he is too emotional.
Scaloni stated this to reporters after Argentina came from a 2-0 down to beat Egypt 3-2 in the World Cup Round of 16 encounter played on Tuesday.
“I always get emotional. Sometimes the tears come out,” Scaloni said. “The tears came in the dressing room too.
“The boys even call me ‘the cry baby,’ but I don’t care.
“For all of us who played soccer for 20 years, to feel what we felt today again is incredible,” he added.
Scaloni will now hope to guide Argentina to victory when they face Switzerland in their next fixture in the quarter-final.
Scaloni’s side is the defending World Cup champion after winning the trophy four years ago in Qatar.
