Alejandro Sabella had been very close to cutting the curse of the Argentine National Team.
He led the national team, with Lionel Messi as a figure, to the final of the 2014 World Cup in Brazil, and lost the final to Germany in overtime, on July 13, 2014, at the Maracana.
In that same stadium, seven years later, led by Lionel Scaloni and with Messi as leader and captain, he cut the drought by beating Brazil in the Copa América final.

Alejandra Sabella, daughter of Alejandro, the former coach of the Argentine National Team, was a mother last month and took advantage of the title achieved by Messi and company to dedicate an emotional tribute to her father, who died on December 8 of last year.
"It couldn't be otherwise! You came with the Cup under your arm so that grandfather could celebrate from heaven that the boys achieved it," Alejandra wrote on her Instagram account and accompanied those words with a photo of her son Dante, who was born in early June.
Alejandra had her baby with Sebastián Dubarbier, a footballer born in La Plata, who trained in Gymnastics but between 2018 and 2019 he wore the Estudiantes shirt, the club where Alejandro Sabella is admired.
There, as a coach, Sabella was champion of America and was two minutes away from winning the Club World Cup final against Guardiola and Messi in Barcelona.
Sabella left a great memory in football.
And also in the Argentine National Team, of course.
