Cuti Romero Set to Become Argentina Captain After Lionel Messi

Cristian “Cuti” Romero is set to become the next captain of the Argentina national team following Lionel Messi’s expected departure from international football.

The decision has reportedly been made by Argentina head coach Lionel Scaloni, with Romero chosen to take over the captaincy after Messi’s farewell to the national team.

Romero has emerged as an important figure in Argentina’s squad and has played a key role in the team’s recent success. His leadership and presence at the back have made him one of the senior figures within the group.

According to the report, Romero has accepted the responsibility and is ready to lead Argentina into a new era after Messi.

The change would mark a significant moment for the defender, who will now have the responsibility of wearing the captain’s armband for the world champions.

Messi has been Argentina’s captain for years and led the team to major international triumphs, including the 2022 FIFA World Cup and the 2021 and 2024 Copa América titles.

With Messi preparing to say goodbye, Argentina are entering a new chapter, and Romero is set to become one of the main leaders of the next generation.
