The ex-Barcelona man will not be in charge for Rio 2016, as he handed in his resignation following a meeting on Tuesday with AFA authorities
Gerardo Martino has resigned from his post as coach of the Argentina national team, less than one month before the start of the Olympic Games.
The ex-Barcelona man had pledged to continue at the helm after a second Copa America final defeat to Chile in June.
But the retirement of Lionel Messi, institutional chaos at the Argentine Football Association and serious issues over squad selection ahead of the Olympic Games forced a change of mind, as he revealed his decision during a meeting on Tuesday.
