Gerardo Martino resigns as coach of Argentina
Jul 06, 2016
Gerardo Martino has resigned from his post as head coach of the Argentina national team, less than one month before the start of the Rio Olympic Games.
This is reportedly due to the retirement of Lionel Messi, serious issues over squad selection ahead of the Olympics, and institutional chaos at the Argentine FA.
Meanwhile, the head of the Argentine Olympic Committee has warned that the chaos could even lead to withdrawal from the Rio Games.
Just days before the final list of 18 players is due to be handed in for the tournament, the crisis-ridden AFA is still far short of making up that number.
