Javier Mascherano will meet his toughest test as a young manager when he takes Argentina's U-23 Men's National Team to the 2024 Olympics in France.
The former Liverpool and Barcelona defender, and Argentina legend, was appointed as Olympic national team manager in late 2021 and has guided the Albiceleste to the Olympics, continuing a rich tradition that has included a silver medal and back-to-back gold medals in 2004 and 2008 — and Mascherano played in both.
Now, Julian Alvarez, Nicolas Otamendi, and Thiago Almada will look to bring home another gold medal for Argentina and continue a dream summer, after the senior team won Copa America in the U.S.
Argentina was drawn in Group B with Morocco, Iraq, and Ukraine.
Here's a closer look at how you can watch Argentina at the 2024 Olympics in France.
