Argentine professional football manager and former player Lionel Sebastián Scaloni was born on May 16, 1978.
He now serves as the Argentina national team’s head coach and has made history by winning the world cup with his coaching skills and techniques.
Scaloni joined Jorge Sampaoli’s coaching staff at Sevilla FC on October 11, 2016. He was once more listed as his assistant in June 2017, when the latter was hired as the new national team manager.
Scaloni and Pablo Aimar were appointed interim managers for the remainder of the year after the nation’s defeat in the World Cup in Russia the following year. Despite strong opposition at the time, the former was confirmed in the role in November 2018 and will remain in it until June 2019, when the 2019 Copa América was scheduled to take place. In Brazil, he guided his team to third place.
