The former national team coach is again encountering contractual problems. He does not accept the sums that the Spanish club intends to pay him for the separation.
Ten days ago, Jorge Sampaoli stopped coaching Sevilla. The Andalusian club was prowling in the relegation places, a situation very different from the expectations that had been generated with his arrival, in the second cycle in which he was in charge of the team. “The fact that the team has failed to rise from the lowest positions in the table since his incorporation as a manager and the image offered in the last games of the team led the club to take this decision, looking for a reaction in the last twelve days left to finish the League ”, explained the institution regarding the decision to conclude the link.
Today, the relationship between the two parties is more broken than ever. Former national team coach does not accept club’s proposed formula for labor relationship settlement and, in a constant of his sporting career, he plans to prolong the dispute through legal channels. One of the options he is considering is taking it to FIFA.
The fight
The origin of the controversy is simple: Sampaoli does not agree with the figures that Sevilla offers him in compensation for the traumatic interruption of the relationship. The coach aspires to be paid for the second year of the contract, according to the agreement that the two parties had signed . The club, meanwhile, He understands that this section was diluted if on May 1 of the current calendar the team was not able to qualify for European competitions, the objective for which it had been hired. .
The relationship had been bad since December. The Spanish site Relevo specifies that on this date it was the coach who wanted to leave the establishment. “Sampaoli wanted to break the contract in December due to Sevilla’s broken promise to bring in the promised reinforcements, but the club denied resorting to the €5,000,000 penalty the coach had to pay to quit the team. “, he argues.
In January, the club added new options to strengthen the squad. The French Loïc Badé, the Argentinian Lucas Ocampos, who returned from a loan to Ajax, the Senegalese Pape Gueye and the Spaniard Bryan Gil have arrived. Despite everything, Sampaoli intended to leave: he considered that the team did not have the level to qualify for European competitions, for which he had been hired.
