Argentina and France were part of an enthralling FIFA World Cup final in Qatar last month. The game finished 3-3 at the end of extra time, courtesy of a Lionel Messi brace, an Angel Di Maria goal, and a sensational hat trick from Kylian Mbappe. La Albiceleste eventually came out on top in the decisive penalty shootout, winning it 4-2.

Speaking to DSports Radio, Romero admitted that he watched the final every day and claimed that he wanted to face France in the final.

The Spurs ace was then asked about the viral photo of him celebrating in Mbappe’s face after Lionel Messi put his team 3-2 up in extra time. Romero claimed that he did it because Mbappe treated his compatriot Fernandez poorly.

Argentina boss Lionel Scaloni is open to managing Spain in the future

Argentine national men’s football team manager Lionel Scaloni has revealed that he would be privileged to take charge of the Spanish national team in the future. Scaloni, who lives in Mallorca with his wife and children, has called Spain his second home.

In December 2022, Scaloni took Argentina to FIFA World Cup glory, putting an end to their 36-year-long hiatus. Spain, on the other hand, crashed and burned under Luis Enrique, getting knocked out of the tournament in the Round-of-16 stage after losing to Morocco on penalties. Enrique left his managerial post in the aftermath of the tournament, and the Spanish hot seat remains vacant.

On Cope’s El Partidazo radio program, Scaloni was asked whether or not he would take charge of Spain in the future. He encouragingly replied:

Scaloni, who was appointed in August 2018, has managed Argentina in 57 matches so far, winning 40 of them.
