Argentina national team head coach Lionel Scaloni expressed his thoughts on Italy's failure to qualify for the 2026 World Cup. AlbicelesteTalk reports.
"The incident with Italy deeply upset me. I have Italian roots, I worked there, and this country is very close to Argentina. They treat us with great love. For Argentine fans, the World Cup is not complete and enjoyable without Italy," Scaloni said.
Recall that Italy lost to Bosnia and Herzegovina in the play-off final after a 1-1 scoreline on penalties and lost its place in the 2026 World Cup.
It is noted that this made history as Italy's third consecutive failure to participate in the finals of the World Cup.
Scaloni's point is that Italy's absence was a significant and sad event not only for Europe but also for World Cup fans.
