Argentina's national soccer team coach Lionel Scaloni was disciplined and will not be able to sit on the bench in the final group match of the 2024 Copa America (South American Championship).
The South American Football Federation (CONMEBOL) announced on the 29th (Korea Standard Time) that it has suspended Scaloni for one game.
Earlier, Argentina's players did not enter the ground in time after halftime in the matches against Canada and Chile in the group league. As a result, the second half of the match started late.
According to the rules of the tournament, players must be on the ground within the scheduled time after a half-time break. A first violation of this will be limited to a warning, but a suspension will be imposed on the second violation.
Argentina will play the third group match against Peru on Saturday without a coach. Lionel Messi of Inter Miami, who felt uncomfortable in his thighs, will also be absent from the match as a manager. 여우알바
