Jorge Sampaoli finds himself unemployed. After a great 2021-2022 season, marked by a 2nd place in Ligue 1 and a semi-final of the Europa League Conference, the Argentine coach has decided to slam the door of Olympique de Marseille.

A hasty and damaging start for the South American manager since his absolute priority, Alexis Sanchez, ended up landing at the end of the transfer window. One arrives greeted by the principal interested party.

Sampaoli wanted Sanchez… and Vidal

I wanted Alexis Sanchez and Arturo Vidal to come to Marseille because they know how to move despite the harshness of football in France. I always tried to bring Alexis to the club and when I planned this season he was a priority for me. , confided the technician for ADN Sports. However, the Argentinian believes that the Chilean striker is not necessarily used to the best since his arrival.

Alexis Sanchez has a lot of ability to be in this championship, but if the conditions are not met, it can be counterproductive. (…) In round trips or calls, Alexis Sanchez does not always find his place and spends a lot of time not touching the ball. The teams are more and more physical in France, but if you know how to move around, it’s easier continued the 62-year-old coach.

Messi, a genius

Sampaoli also managed another star of the French championship, namely Lionel Messi. A player without equivalent for the ex-coach of FC Sville. To lead Messi is to lead a genius.

In two glances, he gives you a parameter of what is happening praised the former Albiceleste coach.

He’s a silent leader, but he understands what’s going to happen. He knows when the team that has prepared has no chance of winning. Beyond his technical abilities and his ability to read the game, he knows what will happen. That’s why he’s a genius , insisted Sampaoli. Unfortunately for him, he will no longer have the opportunity to see La Pulga more closely. In France anyway.
