Having impressed since replacing Jorge Sampaoli on an interim basis, the 40-year-old will take charge of the Albiceleste through to Copa America 2019
Interim Argentina coach Lionel Scaloni is to be offered the job on a permanent basis, according to Argentine Football Association (AFA) president Claudio Tapia.
Former coach Jorge Sampaoli paid the price for Argentina's poor World Cup showing, as they were dumped out in the last 16 by France in one of the matches of the tournament.
Scaloni, who had previously been in charge of Argentina's Under-20 side, was handed the reins on a temporary basis in August and presided over six friendly games in charge.
