Argentina has appointed former international Edgardo Bauza as head coach, filling the void left by Gerardo Martino.
The Argentine Football Association (AFA) made the announcement on Monday, shortly after Brazilian club Sao Paulo revealed Bauza, 58, had accepted an offer to lead the national team.
Argentina had been seeking a replacement for Martino, who resigned following the country's heartbreaking penalty shoot-out loss to Chile in the Copa America Centenario final in June, with Jorge Sampaoli and Marcelo Bielsa linked.
