This World Cup will mark Scaloni's 14th World Cup appearance as a coach, meaning he will become the manager with the most World Cup appearances for the Argentine national team.
The match against England will be Scaloni's 13th World Cup game as manager of Argentina. This surpasses the record of Menotti, the 1978 World Cup-winning manager who led his team in 12 World Cup matches.
Currently, the only coach ahead of Scaloni is Bilardo, who has managed Argentina in 14 World Cup matches. However, this record is nearing its end. With Argentina advancing to the semi-finals, the team is guaranteed at least two more matches – the semi-final and either the final or the third-place match. Therefore, Scaloni will become the coach with the most World Cup appearances in Argentina's national team history, tied for the most.
