Scaloni took over as Argentina's national team coach in the fall of 2018 and has led the team to, among other things, World Cup gold in 2022 and World Cup silver in 2026.

This summer, the South American team lost the final in New Jersey, USA, 0-1 to Spain after extra time.

There had been speculation for some time that the 48-year-old's contract would be extended, but now it has been confirmed, reports ESPN Argentina.

The next World Cup will be held in 2030 in Spain, Portugal and Morocco, with three matches also set to be played in Argentina, Paraguay and Uruguay.
