Argentina sacks head coach only after eight months in job

Argentina Football Association has fired head coach Edgardo Bauza, just eight months after he took on the job in 1026, as the team continues to struggles in qualifying matches for next year's World Cup in Russia.
The news of his sacking was confirmed by the Argentine Football Association on Monday

"Bauza has been informed that he is no longer the coach of the national team," AFA President Claudio Tapia told reporters.

Bauza, 59, was appointed in August, 2016 after Gerardo Martino departed following Argentina's loss in the final of Copa America Centenario.
