If things go according to the plan, then former Head Coach Alejandro Sabella could take over as the new National Team coach for Argentina.





Per a report by TyC Sports, Sabella is rumored to manage the team with a big project behind it all. In short, the idea would be that he would take over the team (both at senior level as well as youth level).

Sabella would manage the senior side at the very least until the 2019 Copa America. In the mean time, he would also coach the U20 team at the South American U20 tournament to be held in Chile between January and February of next year.



That tournament has 2.5 places for a South American team for the 2020 Olympic Games in Tokyo.

This is all still just speculation, especially with Lionel SCALONI presently taking charge of the U20 team.
