South American soccer giants Argentina have sacked national team coach Edgardo Bauza after just eight months in charge.

The AFA chief Claudio Tapia confirmed the reports that the former Sao Paulo boss was no longer managing Albiceleste after a string of disappointing performances.

Premier League football club are in search for the new Alexis Sanchez even as they are yet to tie the player on a new deal.

Arsenal have benefitted from the intense desire to perform of the Chilean. Sanchez is easily the best player at the Emirates this term, and arguably the best in the whole league at the moment.

Chile national team coach Juan Antonio Pizzi claims that he has full confidence that Manchester City and the Chile goalkeeper Claudio Bravo will return back to his best.

Chile manager Pizzi has lavished praise on winger Alexis Sanchez by claiming that he is one of the world’s best players.

Chile have been going from strength to strength in the last few years. After managing to win the Copa America in front of their home fans a few years ago, they went on to retain the title at the centenary edition in the United States.

Chile is competing in the CONMEBOL group along with: Venezuela, Bolivia, Peru, Paraguay, Argentina, Colombia, Ecuador, Brazil and Uruguay.

All of these nations are fighting for the top spot of this group in order to secure their ticket into the upcoming 2018 FIFA World Cup.

The golden generation of Chile might miss out on the 2018 World Cup, despite their great run in recent years.

Their World Cup performance in 2010 and 2014 are the best show for the country in recent time. Their effort on home soil in 1962 comes close. They won the 2015 Copa America on home soil, and replicated same this year, defeating the same opponent – Argentina on penalty kicks.

After winning the Copa America title in back-to-back seasons, Chile will be entering into the South American World Cup qualification with a lot of confidence.

The newly hired coach of the Argentine national team Edgardo Bauza had revealed that his plans include stopping five time FIFA World best Lionel Messi from retiring from international football.

The coach mentioned that getting the player back is the top on his agenda when he fully resumes in charge of the national team.

The Chilean national side has already booked their place in the finals of the 2016 Copa America where they will be facing off with Argentina in the finals which is scheduled to take place on June 26.
