Argentina will be heavily represented at Copa America.
Not only will Lionel Messi and Co. be favoured to repeat as champions in the expanded tournament, but there are no less than seven head coaches from Argentina that will be leading their respective sides into the competition.
World Cup winner Lionel Scaloni remains as the Albiceleste boss, while six of his compatriots will head up the national teams from other countries in the 16-team tournament. Gustavo Alfaro (Costa Rica), Fernando Batista (Venezuela), Marcelo Bielsa (Uruguay), Ricardo Gareca (Chile), Daniel Garnero (Paraguay) and Néstor Lorenzo (Colombia) are the other Argentine managers at this year's Copa America, giving the country nearly half of all head coaching spots in the competition.
Three countries (Spain, Brazil and the United States) will have two head coaches each, while Iceland, Mexico and Uruguay each have one representative in the coaching ranks.
