Jorge Sampaoli was accompanied by his six-year-old son

The World Cup is approaching, and football fans are still trading stickers from the tournament album. With that, former Flamengo coach Jorge Sampaoli was seen at an event in Rio de Janeiro taking part in a trading circle.

Jorge Sampaoli was accompanied by his son León, just six years old, this Tuesday (02). The former Flamengo manager, who is currently without a club, lives in Rio de Janeiro and took the opportunity to attend World Cup sticker-trading events.

WHAT’S THE CONTEXT?

Panini releases the official World Cup album months before the start of the national-team tournament. As a result, football fans usually buy sticker packs to complete and collect it. So when they get duplicates, they take part in trading events to negotiate the items.

WHAT IS JORGE SAMPAOLI’S SITUATION?

Jorge Sampaoli has been enjoying time with his family, since he is currently unemployed. The Argentine coach most recently worked at Atlético-MG, but he was dismissed in February this year.

WHEN DOES THE WORLD CUP START?

The World Cup starts this June, on the 11th. This year’s edition will be played in the United States, Mexico, and Canada, and will feature 48 national teams. Flamengo, in fact, has nine players confirmed for the tournament.
