Mascherano stops being the DT of the Sub-20

Javier Mascherano He has ceased to be the coach of the U-20 National Team. This was reported by Román Iucht for Fontevecchia modeby net tv and RadioProfile (FM 101.9).

While Mascherano was in charge of the U-20 team, the reality is that the performance of the team was very weak. When he steered the boat, he participated in the contest pre-olympic in colombiawhere Argentina was in fourth place among five of its group, not classified, due to the fact that the first three passed.

Once you have returned to the country, mascherano took responsibility for the defeat. “Clearly the one who failed is me,” he said, while announcing that, in these circumstances, what is appropriate is “to step aside.”

The president, Claudio Tapia, discursively supported Mascherano and also there was support for his figure from social networks.

Javier Mascherano resigned as technical director of the Argentina Sub 20 National Team

The opinion of the time of the AFA keep supporting the project, calling the DT to take a few weeks to reflect on his decision. However, Mascherano did not change his position.

This is still a “rarity” in the Argentine idiosyncrasy. A person who, developing a role in the management of a public place, things go wrong, he grabs his things and leaves.

He says: “it didn’t go well for me”, and presents his resignation as resignations are presented, in an indeclinable manner, without speculating with that they come to rub his back, raise his ego and give him a new opportunity.

Mascherano’s very harsh self-criticism after the defeat of the Sub 20: “We were not up to the task”

Mascherano’s level of demand will surely be the determining factor in this decision, knowing that he may have another chance at another time and placebut assuming the responsibilities of the case.

He is the same Mascherano who aroused enormous expectations in the National Team. After losing three consecutive finals, always clarifying that this is a collective sport, not an individual one, he became a kind of “public enemy”“the big loser”

So things, Mascherano will no longer be the technical director of the selection sub-20.
