Former Liverpool midfielder Javier Mascherano is set to take his first steps into management as he will take charge of Argentina Under-20s next year.
Mascherano played over 100 times for his national side and was one of the players of the tournament when Argentina reached the World Cup final in 2014.
The 37-year-old spent three years at Anfield and quickly became one of the best midfielders in the Premier League as he made 139 appearances for the Reds before moving to Barcelona in 2010.
Mascherano got a taste of what it was like to play in the Champions League final after Liverpool lost to AC Milan in Athens in 2007.

The tenacious midfielder didn’t leave Anfield on the best of terms after forcing through a move to the Spanish giants but he later made up for it after giving Liverpool fans a shout out.
After helping Barcelona beat Manchester United in the Champions League final at Wembley in 2011, Mascherano said the win was for the Liverpool fans when interviewed on TV.
