New Inter coach Cristian Chivu wants Samuel as his No2. The pair are former Inter defenders.
Scaloni revealed: “Inter called, it was his former teammate, a friend, an important stage in his career, but he has a commitment to us.
“Walter appreciated it, but he has decided to stay with us. I thank him, it is a sign of affection and professionalism.”
Samuel, 47, has acted as Scaloni's assistant since 2018.
