Argentina coach Lionel Scaloni says Paulo Dybala is his younger son’s ‘idol’, so he had to apologise for not calling up La Joya for the 2024 Copa America.
Argentina coach Scaloni apologised to one of his sons for not calling up Roma star Dybala for the Copa America last summer.
“My son is in love with Dybala. He celebrates like Dybala,” Scaloni, a former Lazio defender, told Neura Media.
“I often had to apologise for not calling him for the Copa America.”

Scaloni was talking about the influence that big players have on young people.
“If somebody doesn’t behave well, they [kids] will imitate what this player does on the pitch,” he noted.
His contract at the Stadio Olimpico expires in June 2025, but he has an option to extend it until 2026 if he makes 55% of his appearances in his three years at the club.
