  Argentina Olympic team coach Julio Olarticoechea said that neither he nor his coaching staff have received their salary from the Argentina Football Federation (AFA). Davon House Jersey .Argentina crashed out of the Olympic football tournament at the group stage on Wednesday after a 1-1 draw with Honduras?amid institutional problems in AFA that forced FIFA to intervene back in June.The Albiceleste, who had been in danger of missing the Rio tournament just weeks before the opening ceremony due to AFAs current chaos, failed to reach the second stage of the competition for the first time since 1964.Olarticoechea, who stepped up to take the job just weeks before the Olympics after national team coach Gerardo Martinos abrupt resignation, reportedly over similar salary issues, told Argentinas media that AFA has hit rock bottom.?He said that he was borrowing money from his daughter to make ends meet this summer. His contract runs through March.Yesterday my wife called me to tell me that we are borrowing money from my daughter [Johana], who is a baker and earns a good salary, he told La Nacion. She told me to speak to the AFA leaders and tell them that we need to be paid. I am taking money from my daughter. That is enough to make you cry, but that is the reality.It is as though they [AFA] are saying they dont value you, as if you just arrived at AFA by coincidence, he said.?The federation, led by Julio Grondona since 1979, has been in turmoil since the late FIFA senior vice president died in 2014.In June, FIFA stepped in and named a committee to run the federations daily affairs with a mandate that elections must be held by July 2017.I hear the criticism from the people who say that we are doing this for the money, but they are wrong, Olarticoechea told Radio Continental. When you get to this level, it is no longer about money. It is about representing Argentina. And when you lose, you are totally destroyed. I know how each player feels.He blasted AFA for not paying his coaching staff.I dont make much and I dont complain about the poor salary, he said. Caldero [Pablo Calderon], my assistant, he does a million things and he earns just 18,000 pesos ($1200) monthly and he hasnt been paid in three months. He did everything, he organised everything for the players, he was a huge help.Argentinas senior team, coached by Edgardo Bauza, are currently preparing for September World Cup 2018 qualifiers against Uruguay and Venezuela without their star, Lionel Messi, who abruptly quit following the teams loss to Chile in the Copa America Centenario final.Bauza was in Barcelona on Thursday to try to persuade Messi to return. Friday is the FIFA deadline for squad names for the September matches.Messi also made reference to federation problems a few days before the Copa final, saying that AFA was a disaster after the team had suffered delayed flights and had experienced problems finding opponents for training games -- traditionally Argentina take a group of juniors to tournaments to serve as sparring partners for the senior side.?Maradona claimed that the current chaos within the Argentina federation was institutional and that Barcelona star Lionel Messi was right to call out the federation during the Copa America Centenario.
