OFFICIAL: Edgardo Bauza appointed new Argentina coach

Sao Paulo have confirmed that coach Edgardo Bauza will leave the club in order to take up the vacant role at the Argentina national team. 

The post had been empty since Gerardo Martino handed in his resignation shortly after the end of the 2016 Copa America. 

And while official confirmation from the Argentine FA has yet to arrive, Sao Paulo revealed that the trainer was moving back to his home country. 

Bauza comes with a sterling record in South American football, having led both Liga de Quito and San Lorenzo to their first-ever Copa Libertadores triumphs, in 2008 and 2013 respectively.
