According to the club, “Jorge Sampaoli and Sevilla FC have reached a deal for the Argentine manager to return to the club, after a first stint in the 2016–17 season.”
“Sampaoli will lead his first training session today evening at 18:30 and has a contract that runs through 30 June 2024. As part of his coaching staff, he brings in Pablo Fernández, Jorge Desio, and Diogo Meschine. He began playing football at the Newell’s Old Boys academy, but a catastrophic leg injury at the age of 19 caused him to retire early.”
Recall the legendary John Terry of Chelsea has informed Graham Potter, the manager, that first impressions matter.
On Saturday, Potter led the Blues to their first Premier League victory at Crystal Palace after drawing his first game in charge in the Champions League against Red Bull Salzburg.
