New Argentina boss Gerardo Martino has slammed the level of media scrutiny directed at those who manage superstars such as Lionel Messi, claiming the joy is taken away from coaching such talent. Martino suggests the enormous pressure and constant questioning surrounding Messi means coaches will be criticised regardless of the talisman's performances. The former Barcelona manager will team up with the four-time Ballon d'Or winner having replaced Alejandro Sabella, who left the post following Argentina's agonising World Cup final defeat to Germany in July. Thankless: Gerardo Martino says managers who coach Lionel Messi can never win due to the level of scrutiny
