Nicolás Otamendi spoke about Lionel Scaloni possible stepping down as coach of the Argentina national team.

Otamendi scored for Argentina in their 1-0 win vs. Brazil and coach Lionel Scaloni announced at a press conference after the match that he could be leaving as coach of Argentina. Otamendi spoke to TyC Sports after the match about Scaloni’s comments:

“We have to talk about it. Words are now superfluous, I think we have to talk about it personally and obviously communicate with him. We received the information and well, we will try to talk about it and see what happens.

“There were a lot of guys who had not entered the locker room. He usually gives a talk when we are all inside but there were some who were doing the doping test. Fideo (Ángel Di María) was doping, Leo (Messi) was undergoing treatment, so we were not all together. But afterwards, we will surely have a conversation.”
