Scaloni, the Argentine national team coach, has reportedly decided to give the number 10 shirt to Nico Paz, the young player who stood out at Newcastle United. This decision means Nico Paz succeeds Lionel Messi in wearing this iconic number for the national team.
The choice has not yet been officially confirmed by the Argentine Football Association. However, according to reports, Scaloni has already made the decision internally to trust the 20-year-old to lead the Argentine team.
Nico Paz was born in Argentina but played his youth football at Real Madrid, making his debut for the Argentine senior national team last year. His performances both at Newcastle and with the national team caught the attention of the coach.
The transition of the number 10 shirt from Messi to Nico Paz represents a generational change in the Argentine national team, which is now looking for a new technical leader for the future of the team.
