Jose Pekerman quit as Argentina coach Friday, minutes after it lost to Germany in the quarterfinals of the World Cup.
Pekerman, whose contract was up after this year's tournament, announced he was stepping away after Argentina played Germany to a 1-1 tie and lost the shootout 4-2.
"For sure I am not going to continue," said the 56-year-old Pekerman, who took over the team in September of 2004 from Marcelo Bielsa.
Pekerman won three world youth titles for Argentina in 1995, '97 and 2001, before moving up to the top job in Argentina soccer.
