Under-fire Bauza backed by Argentina

Argentina coach Edgardo Bauza remains in charge and has the backing of the nation's football association for now, president Claudio Tapia said.

Bauza is under huge pressure at the helm of the South American giants, who are struggling in fifth in CONMEBOL World Cup qualifying.

"He is the coach who has the national team today. There is a contract," Tapia said on Thursday.

"We have to keep working, getting to know each other."

He added: "Bauza is very good. I cannot think for everyone. I am the president of the AFA.

"There is a coach who has a contract in place."
