De lo sublime a lo ridículo

Subject

A look at the transition in coaches of the national team ahead of the World Cup

Description

AFA's change of national team coaches, from Osvaldo Zubeldía to Juan Carlos Lorenzo, reveals how the inner politics of AFA led to a coaching change months before the World Cup. Zubeldía was awarded nearly exclusive control of the team but AFA (and perhaps a few clubs) denigrated his work and refused to pay his assistant, Antonio Faldutti, his requested salary. Instead, Zubeldía and his entire staff quit and AFA turned to the 1962 coach Juan Carlos Lorenzo (who claimed that he knew of the appointment to the national team weeks before the announcement and Zubeldía's resignation, only the Buenos Aires Herald published this account).
