A little sentence from Jorge Sampaoli which echoed as far as Argentina, his native country. No need to tell you that these comments were not received positively by the Argentine media, which took down the new coach of Stade Rennais.
Claudio Mauri, journalist at La Nacion, for his part emphasized the fact that Jorge Sampaoli is hated in Argentina, and that the latter's media outing is in no way surprising.
“Sampaoli is a coach who causes a lot of rejection in Argentina. He is not liked because of his personality, but also because he represents the last chaotic episode of the selection during the 2018 World Cup in Russia. His relationship with the team, the elimination against France… Here, he has a profile that does not please him. He did not make the selection play well while it was quite the opposite with Scaloni who calmed all that down. . He's a coach who we don't like here also because he has no connection with an important club in Argentina. He developed his coaching career abroad, whether in South America or in Europe. Here he is not linked to any club, big or small. Nobody defends him,” the journalist said.
