#4 Sort out managerial uncertainty and speculation

Edgardo Bauza
Edgardo Bauza’s job as Argentina manager is under severe threat

On the back of the 2-0 defeat against Bolivia, a number of news outlets speculated that coach Edgardo Bauza could be sacked. A week later, it does not seem like any knee-jerk decisions will be taken; yet it is clear that Bauza's job is far from secure.

Again, this isn't helping their cause – either the Argentina FA needs to unequivocally back their manager or hire a new manager and place their faith in him. Names like Mauricio Pochettino and Jorge Sampaoli are being mentioned.

While they are ambitious targets, if a deal could somehow be pulled off, it would be a welcome relief for the entire country – leaving the players to focus solely on the task at hand.
