The manager says Chile were unfortunate not to return home with silverware after giving everything they had in Russia
Juan Antonio Pizzi felt Chile did enough throughout their time in Russia to win the Confederations Cup but has now urged his players to keep progressing as they seek to cement their status as a genuine force in world football.
Lars Stindl's goal in the first half of Sunday's final in St Petersburg was enough for a young Germany team to deny the experienced South American side 1-0.
Chile have made significant strides under recent coaches Marcelo Bielsa, Claudio Borghi and Jorge Sampaoli, winning the last two editions of the Copa America and impressing at the World Cup in 2010 and 2014.
