Sampaoli, leading candidate to take charge of Talleres | OneFootball

The leadership headed by Andrés Fassi has already held meetings with the former Argentina national team coach, and negotiations are ongoing. The option of Martín Anselmi, which seemed to be on track in recent days, lost momentum after the two sides failed to reach an agreement. Given this scenario, the Córdoba leadership moved forward with Sampaoli, who is in Córdoba and remains in talks to define his future.

If negotiations are successful, it would be the coach’s first experience in the Argentine top flight. His only previous stint in the country was in charge of Argentino de Rosario, between 1996 and 1997, in the Primera B Metropolitana.

Throughout his career, Sampaoli built much of his résumé abroad. Among his main achievements are the 2011 Copa Sudamericana with Universidad de Chile and the 2015 Copa América with the Chile national team.

In addition, he has coached the Argentina national team, Sevilla, Olympique de Marseille, Flamengo, Atlético Mineiro, Stade Rennais, and the Chile national team, among other teams.

Meanwhile, the leadership is also evaluating other alternatives. Among them is Diego Alonso, former Uruguay coach, most recently at Panathinaikos. Talleres’ intention is to resolve the situation in the coming days so that the new coaching staff can lead the start of preseason and begin planning for the second half of the year.
