Argentina coach Scaloni suspended for Copa America match vs. Peru for being repeatedly late
MIAMI GARDENS, Florida (AP) — Argentina coach Lionel Scaloni has been suspended for one match and will miss his team’s last Copa America group match against Peru on Saturday.
Scaloni was suspended because Argentina was late returning for the second half in its two Copa America matches, a 2-0 win against Canada and a 1-0 triumph over Chile, the disciplinary commission of CONMEBOL said on Friday.
Scaloni also can’t attend the post-match news conference.
Defending Copa America champion Argentina has already secured a berth in the knockout stages.
