Argentina has been widely praised for its out-of-this-world football magicians Diego Armando Maradona and Lionel Messi. And many others, to be honest.But this new football order has made the Albiceleste a major force in terms of coaching, too.Insistir ☑Persistir ☑Resistir ☑Y nunca desistir 💪pic.twitter.com/GDHmqOScoz— Selección Argentina 🇦🇷 (@Argentina) July 11, 2021 After Colombia announced that the coach of Argentine origins, Nestor Lorenzo, would be their new national team coach, it became visible the domination of Messi’s compatriots in the dugouts of the South American national sides.Argentina comfortably wins in ‘Finalissima’ and ruins Chiellini’s retirementAt this moment, besides Lionel Scaloni, who’s in charge of the very Albiceleste, Argentine coaches are in charge of six more teams in the CONMEBOL region and two of their gaffers are the candidates for a vacant job in Bolivia.FRI: 22.00: (1.45) IVORY COAST (4.50) ZAMBIA (8.00)The list looks like this:Lionel Scaloni – ArgentinaJose Nestor Pekerman – VenezuelaGuillermo Barros Schelotto – ParaguayNestor Lorenzo – ColombiaRicardo Gareca – PeruGustavo Alfaro – EcuadorJuan Antonio Pizzi/Sergio Batista – Bolivia.Quite a list, huh?##EDITORS_CHOICE##Well, it’s easier and much quicker, for sure, to name those relevant football countries that don’t stick to Argentine coaches. And it’s, of course, two greats of South American football – Brazil and Uruguay. The Selecao manager is Tite (Adenor Leonardo Bacchi), while La Celeste is led by their former player Diego Alonso.¡Bienvenido Néstor Lorenzo a nuestra Selección!Desde la FCF deseamos que juntos cosechemos muchos éxitos.💛💛💙❤️#VamosColombia 🇨🇴 pic.twitter.com/SxKNQxtcRO— Selección Colombia (@FCFSeleccionCol) June 2, 2022 One of the non-footballing reasons behind this domination probably lies in Argentinians speaking Spanish, just like most of South America. But this language virtue probably isn’t the crucial pros for this sort of “occupation”.Argentina has more than 300 registered clubs which tells a story of its own. That sort of depth produces many new coaching faces almost every year, and they obviously seize the opportunity to export the knowledge to the neighbouring countries.
