Pekerman quits as Argentina coach

Jose Pekerman has quit as coach of Argentina following their quarter-final loss to Germany on penalties.

"I think the cycle is over. I'm sure I'm not going to continue," he said after his side lost in Berlin.

"It was a very exciting match. We also played like favourites and gave our best although we lost.

"The penalties were a consequence of a very even match. It's a shame for Argentina who played very well and in the whole championship."

Damn, I had my doubts on him but he really did a good job with this team by establishing that youth movement. The core of this team will be at their prime in 2010

Word. Although he did fuck up when he left Messi on the bench and put Riquelme on it in the 70th minute.
