Lionel Scaloni, Argentina coach and former Mallorca player, will kick-off the match between Mallorca and Valladolid on Saturday.

The tributes to World Cup winners continue as the weeks go by. This Saturday it will be the turn of Lionel Scaloni, the coach who put the third star on Argentina's crest.

The coach will be in charge of the kick-off for the match between Mallorca and Valladolid at the Visit Mallorca Estadi, corresponding to the 16th round of La Liga.

Scaloni made just 28 appearances for Mallorca, on loan from Lazio, before ending his career at Atalanta.

However, the 'Albiceleste' coach's ties are stronger. Scaloni, despite his position, has lived for several years in Calvia, Mallorca, with his wife and two children.
