An Estudiantes official is telling the BBC that coach Alejandro Sabella is in talks to take charge of Argentina.
Estudiantes' head of international development, Sergio Neveleff, was quoted as saying Friday that the club was ''confident that Alex would be our manager for a long time, but now we are affected'' by the national team situation.
Sabella added on the BBC website that ''in Argentina, being the national team coach is the most wanted position.''
Argentina has been in need of a new coach since Tuesday when Diego Maradona wasn't offered a new contract.
