Buenos Aires: Interim Argentina coach Sergio Batista will keep the job until the end of the year, a reward for Tuesday's 4-1 victory over World Cup winner Spain.
Batista replaced Diego Maradona and victories in his first two matches — a 1-0 win over Ireland and the Spain victory — will keep him in place for a friendly against Japan and two against Brazil.
Luis Segura, a high-ranking member of the Argentine Football Association, confirmed after Tuesday's victory that Batista would stay on in the job. He said other candidates would be evaluated at year's end.
Other names thought to be in the running are Estudiantes coach Alejandro Sabella, Miguel Angel Russo of Racing Club and Carlos Bianchi, who is without a club.
