About Jorge Sampaoli
Jorge Luis Sampaoli Moya (Spanish pronunciation: [ˈxoɾxe sampaˈoli]; born 13 March 1960) is an Argentine football manager. He is the manager of Talleres. Sampaoli had a brief playing career in Argentina's amateur leagues which was cut short by injuries. His early coaching career saw him take charge of clubs in Argentina, Peru, Chile and Ecuador. He earned widespread recognition as manager of Universidad de Chile, winning three league titles and the 2011 Copa Sudamericana with a brand of attacking football likened to that of Marcelo Bielsa. His successful spell at the helm of the Santiago club earned him an offer to coach the Chile national team in 2012, which he led to their first ever Copa América title in 2015 on home soil. Sampaoli's first experience outside of South America was with Spanish club Sevilla in 2016. In 2017, he accepted the job at the Argentina national team, leading his home nation at the 2018 FIFA World Cup. His later career includes spells in Brazil, with Santos, Atlético Mineiro and Flamengo, in France, with Marseille and Rennes, and a second stint with Sevilla. On 9 January 2002, Sampaoli was appointed coach of Peruvian Primera División side Juan Aurich; it was the first professional club in his career.
