A Liverpool legend was identified to be Messi next coach

The Argentine national team went under the spotlight in the last few hours after getting defeated against Uruguay for the first time since 1987 during this international break, which put an end to a sensational streak of invincibility of Messi's side in World Cup qualifying games starting in 2016.

In this sense, the Argentine manager Lionel Scaloni, who led the national team to the conquest of the last American Cup and the 2022 World Cup, surprised the media and the fans letting them know that he could be close to terminate his stage as the coach of the Argentine team, which really worried everyone in the country.

In this respect, in the last few hours, there were reports in the Argentine press about the potential successor of the Argentine manager in his position, and surprisingly a Liverpool legend could be leading the race to replace Scaloni in the team’s management in the next few years.

He could join forces with Messi soon

According to the Argentine journalist Gaston Edul from TYC Sports, the current Bayer Leverkusen coach Xabi Alonso, who played for Liverpool from 2004 to 2009 scoring 18 goals in 210 games with the Reds, would be the first on the Argentine Football Association to be considered to replace Scaloni, which could mean that the Liverpool legend could join forces with Messi to lead the Argentine team for the next few years.
