FOOTBALL


Gerardo Martino and Lionel Messi                                            
Gerardo Martino has resigned as head coach of Argentina.
The 53-year-old departs just days after Argentina lost on penalties to Chile in the Copa America final.
In a statement Martino indicated he quit because of a "lack of decisions" at the head of the Argentine FA (AFA) and "serious problems" in selecting a squad for the Olympics.
The Argentine managed his country from August 2014, after previously coaching Barcelona.
Last month's Copa America defeat was the second time Argentina finished runner-up to Chile in the competition during Martino's reign.
