De la Fuente and Scaloni: master and student in world final

Luis de la Fuente and Lionel Scaloni meet in the final of the 2026 World Cup, an extraordinary journey for these two coaches. The Spanish coach oversaw Scaloni's coaching training in 2017, before the Argentine became his nation's head coach. The two men maintain a relationship of mutual respect despite this high-level rivalry. This final embodies a beautiful story of football: one where the master now faces his former student on the world's biggest stage.
