Edgardo Bauza has been appointed as the new coach of the Argentine senior team.
The post has been vacant since Gerardo Martino's resignation following the Copa America final loss to Chile and Bauza has been appointed to take his place and rebuild the team's confidence ahead of their crucial World Cup qualifiers coming up.
Bauza started his coaching career at Rosario Central where he had played at his peak making over 300 appearances and scoring 80 goals.
In 2008, the Rosario native made history by becoming the first manager ever to lead an Ecuadorian club (LDU Quito) to victory in the Copa Libertadores, a trophy he won again with San Lorenzo in 2014.
On January 15, 2009, the IFFHS ranked him third among the top ten club coaches around the world, only behind Sir Alex Ferguson and Dick Advocaat.
The 58 year old leaves Sao Paulo where he has been for 8 months to take on the national team job.
Right now, I believe his biggest task will be to restore hope to the likes of Lionel Messi and bring then back into the national fold.
Good luck Bauza!!!
