Addressing ongoing questions surrounding Scaloni’s long-term future, Demichelis highlighted the manager’s personal qualities and tactical development. The former defender expressed total confidence in the 48-year-old’s ability to refresh the squad without sacrificing competitiveness.
He emphasized that Scaloni’s proven track record gives him complete authority to introduce new players.
“We’re very spoiled, because these last eight years have been incredibly successful,” Demichelis stated. “I hope the Gringo (Lionel Scaloni) stays. I hope he feels that energy and the desire to continue. Because with his humility, he’s going to build a competitive team, I have no doubt.”
