After experiencing a delicate moment in office, Sampaoli was informed by Sevilla’s board of directors about his future and became a topic in Brazil
On the morning of this Tuesday, the 21st, coach Jorge Sampaoli was officially fired by seville. After a disappointing campaign in the La Liga season, the Argentine could not resist the pressure from the fans and the board. In an official note, the Spanish club confirmed the decision and thanked the services provided by the experienced coach.
“Sevilla FC terminated the contract with their manager, Jorge Sampaoli, after the team’s defeat at Getafe, which again put the team on the brink of relegation. The fact that the team has not been able to leave the bottom of the table since he was hired as coach and the image offered in the last matches led the club to make this decision.“, he explained.
“The objective is the search for a reaction in the team in the last twelve games left to finish the League. Sevilla FC thanks Sampaoli for his services and wishes him good luck in his future“, ended the official note released by Sevilla.
According to the newspaper “Marca”, Jose Luis Mendilibar met with representatives of Sevilla last Monday, the 20th, and will have the mission to keep the team away from relegation. According to information in the publication, Mendilibar will immediately assume command. Therefore, in training this Tuesday, the 21st, the Spaniard should be at the head of the team.
In addition to the bad results, Sampaoli was not managing to maintain a pleasant atmosphere in the team’s locker room, which only worsened the sporting situation that Sevilla is in. The athletes turned against him, making the job unsustainable. With the Argentine free on the market, Brazilian football clubs are looking at the possibility of hiring the coach.
Santos, for example, is going through a very delicate moment in the season and the current coach, Odair Hellmann, goes through several episodes of turmoil with the team. That way, Peixão would have an option to replace the Brazilian. However, as happened in the first spell, the contract negotiation with Sampaoli is complicated.
