biography

Jorge Sampaoli played as a player for the Newell's Old Boys and had to end his career at a young age after a broken tibia and fibula . Thereupon he was initially cashier in a bank branch and justice of the peace in his birthplace Casilda. At the beginning of the 1990s he discovered Marcelo Bielsa , who was coaching Newell's Old Boys, as an idol and returned to football as a coach. His first clubs were amateur teams from the province, including Almuni . When Bielsa became the Argentine national coach, Sampaoli traveled to Buenos Aires , 350 kilometers away , to watch Bielsa's training sessions with binoculars from 400 meters away . As a coach of the amateur teams, he achieved one or the other success.

A functionary of his youth club became aware of him when a photo appeared in which Sampaoli continued to coach his team after being sent off behind a fence from the branches of a tree. Thereupon this functionary offered him a position as coach of the reserve team of the club from Rosario ; Sampaoli accepted the offer. At that time he also went on study trips to the Netherlands , Italy and Spain in order to train himself on the training grounds of professional teams. The Peruvian club Juan Aurich signed Sampaoli, paid $ 2,500 for the entire coaching team and provided a place to stay with the local fire station. With Juan Aurich he earned his first spurs in professional football. He got better-paid contracts with Sport Boys and Coronel Bolognesi , in order to eventually become a coach at Sporting Cristal , one of the most popular clubs in Peru. In 2007 he fell victim to an intrigue among the Sporting Cristal staff when the players' physical exercises and, above all, the tactical exercises became too excessive. After the subsequent release, he went to Chile , where his idol Marcelo Bielsa was national coach at that time, and took over the coaching post at CD O'Higgins . Via Ecuador , where he coached CS Emelec , he took over the Universidad de Chile in Chile and led the club to two championship titles and the first international title with the Copa Sudamericana in 2011 .

His compatriot Claudio Borghi was sacked as coach of the Chilean national team in November 2012 ; Sampaoli succeeded him on December 4, 2012. He led Chile to the 2014 World Cup and also scored notable successes in games against Brazil (2-2), Spain (2-2) and England (2-0 at Wembley Stadium ). The friendly match against Germany on March 5, 2014 in Stuttgart was lost 0-1. In the group stage of the World Cup finals in Brazil, Chile faced Australia , Spain and the Netherlands . A 3-1 win against Australia was followed by a 2-0 win against Spain, which means that Chile qualified early for the round of 16, while Spain were eliminated early. The game against the Netherlands was lost 0-1; as second in the group, the team met Brazil . Chile lost just on penalties.

In the summer of 2015, the Chilean national team won their first title under Sampaoli with the Copa America 2015 . In January 2016 he resigned as national coach.

In the summer of 2016 Sampaoli took over the Spanish Primera Division club and Europa League winner Sevilla FC .

From 2017 to 2018 Sampaoli coached the Argentine national football team . In order to buy him out of the current contract with Sevilla FC, the Argentine association paid a transfer fee of 1.5 million euros to the club.
