Failing to be able to recruit players at the moment, Jorge Sampaoli is getting a technical staff as he wishes. This is the case with Abel Pimenta.
New coach of Stade Rennais, Jorge Sampaoli is getting his bearings during this international break, and will therefore have a little time to prepare for the upcoming match against Lille this Sunday. The Argentine coach knows that he will have the means to shake up the Breton club's squad this winter, but in the meantime, he is allowing himself to act on what he can already modify. This concerns in particular its technical staff and this is reflected this week by the arrival of Abel Pimenta. This 32-year-old Portuguese was fired from Braga, where he was assistant to the head coach, at the start of the season due to the poor results of the Lusitanian club. It is therefore free for him to sign at Stade Rennais and will reunite with Jorge Sampaoli, whom he knew in Seville a few years ago, explains Benjamin Quarez, the journalist from Le Parisien.
Abel Pimenta is one of those Portuguese coaches who started very young, since the 32-year-old technician started coaching when he was only 19, with youth teams, notably at FC Porto. He specialized in video analysis and data, before becoming head of recruitment in South America then assistant in Sevilla and in several Portuguese clubs. Always with the profile of a hard-working technician, attentive to detail and eager to make his teams play with the ball.
