Lionel Scaloni received the award for the best coach of the year in America from El País de Uruguaand. The coach, who is already in China for the Asian tour, spoke before leaving with the newspaper.

"It's very big, it doesn't fit me into the space I have in Mallorca for the awards," he joked to the journalists of the traditional Montevideo newspaper. The Santa Fe coach cannot forget the moment when the squad returned to Argentina and tried to arrive, without luck or margin to advance, to the Obelisk.
