The offer was made by Inter's new coach, Cristian Chivu, who is a former teammate and friend of Samuel's. Chivu previously played alongside Samuel at Inter Milan.
Scaloni revealed that Inter Milan contacted Samuel about joining their team, but he decided to stay with Argentina. According to Scaloni, Samuel appreciated the offer but chose to remain committed to the national team.
Samuel has been working as Scaloni's assistant since 2018. His decision to stay with Argentina is seen as a sign of his dedication and professionalism.
