Argentina's
World Cup camp is in total disarray following reports that coach Jorge Sampaoli
has been stripped of effective power ahead of Tuesday night's crunch fixture
with Nigeria.
According
to Daily Mail, Argentina's World Cup camp descended into chaos on Saturday
night following their 1-1 draw with Iceland and their most recent 3-0 defeat
with Croatia which saw senior players take the issue up to the Argentine FA
general manager Jorge Burruchaga.
Argentina's
1986 World Cup winner Ricardo Giusti claimed he spoke to Burruchaga, who has
admitted that the players would be consulted for the Nigeria game.
Giusti
said: 'The players will decide the team, that's a fact. If Sampaoli wants to
sit in the bench, he can do it. If not, no problem.'
Argentina
will face Nigeria on Tuesday in a crunch tie which will decide the fate of both
nations who gets to the knockout stage with Croatia in Group D.
