Argentina coach Jose Pekerman quits after their loss to Germany  Argentina coach Jose Pekerman has quit his job after his side were defeated by Germany.
"This has come to an end and I will certainly not go on," Jose Pekerman said.
"You have to make a decision and I'm convinced I've done everything in my reach, and it's time to look for something else.
"I'm very sorry for the coaches and the fans and the players, this team deserves to go further but we couldn't make it."
Jose Pekerman, 56, added: "It was a very exciting match. We also played like favourites and gave our best although we lost.
"The penalties were a consequence of a very even match. It's a shame for Argentina who played very well and in the whole championship."
Jose Pekerman took over as Argentina coach in September 2004, after previously leading the Under-20 side to three World Youth Championships.
