Jorge Sampaoli, who these days is still without a club, remembered his successful steps through University of Chile and the Chilean team, recognizing that in Argentina they were interested in him thanks to these two stages he had in our country.
“The Argentinians were first curious about me when we won the Copa América with Chile in 2015, and before that because of the Copa Sudamericana that we won undefeated with the University of Chile in 2011. There was some concern there”said the Casildense in dialogue with El País.
Along these lines, he stressed that the U occupies an important place in his career as a coach. “It all started with that South American Cup. It attracted a lot of attention because of what that team said in relation to form. At that time the form still mattered,” Indian.

Jorge Sampaoli and his challenge to direct again
After being fired from Flamengo in September 2023, Sampaoli decided to take some time before returning to direct and has not yet defined his future. “My adventure is not over. I have a lot to do. I want to diagnose things that happened and see how I can resolve them. “I spend the day writing, inventing,” he commented.
“I have to manage to be in this hot Roman circus seeing how I can survive. “I will need a lot of ingenuity to convince many players to return to experiencing the game as an amateur, not to be afraid,” He added about the challenge ahead.
Finally, he admitted that “I have basically learned from my failures. I didn’t learn anything about success because you believe that you are directly responsible for success and many things happen that you don’t know that make you get to that place. I assimilate failure, I look at it, I study it, I get involved and I learn.”
