IMHO, this guy Sampaoli is one of the few coaches in the world that truly makes a difference. His appointment to coach Argentina should make a BIG BIG difference in the coming months. I rarely praise coaches as significant contributors but this is truly one of the few difference makers.

He is very good having coached Chile to a Copa. Think he was hampered by lack of depth at Sevilla

Hope he failed with Argentina,

Depth is one thing however few sides have the depth that his style demands for the course of a European season. If they'd stayed healthy and focused, they'd have been really tough. I actually thought Sevilla had a decent squad this year including bench guys. Someone like Ganso barely factored. It was usually same case with Bielsa.

Queen Futcha no go gree persin rest now.

Sampaoli gone. Monchi gone. These are rough waters for the Andalusians.

Does that mean that our husband Argentina will be in Russia next year to issue more beatings? Please say it ain't so!

He was hampered by being a hot head, better suited for being a national team manager. Good riddance.

Nonsense, Barizzo>>>>>Sampaoli

Good manager but i do not think that the fit is right. Argentina is top heavy and will struggle defensively. If he does not get it right, it will be a disaster.

Their problem is their FA not the Manager. Keep in mind they almost quit the copa Togo WC style last year. They had elections last year with an odd number of total votes. Yet the 2 candidates ended with a tie and every one voted.

KPOM! However, S. American qualification history, I give the 2018 WC, to Argentina or Chile if they qualify. There is always Germany of course.

Even with that he did a magnificent job at Sevilla. The surprise loss to Leicester and the speculation about this Argentina job was the turning point. They were top of laliga at some point.

No, the 2018 WC belongs to Italia. You heard it here first.

I don't think so! They are super light up front. They would have to unearth some young forwards better than the likes of Zaza and keep Buffon, to win it.

They could also do what Spain has done recently and stack the forward lines with MFs.

Wasn't it two COPAs back to back?

Second Copa was won by Pizzi.

Anybody watch Sampaoli and Argentina murder a hapless Singapore. Sometimes appearing to play a 2-3-5!

Are you serious? He has some balls, though of course it is Singapore.

More astonishing are his two sleeves of ink. Crikey, when did that happen?

That must be one hell of a vote count.

lol. I wonder what would have happened if it ended in a 40-36 win. They will probably write off the additional vote as immaterial i.e. NMNFIN -Not material no further investigation needed.

No doubt. I see us in the same group with them again if we qualify.
