Before the Argentine team made history in the World Cup in Qatar, it suffered four years ago in Russia in 2018. One of those responsible for cutting off the dream of Lionel Messi and the Albiceleste is now without a job. After his torrid time with the current world champion, he does not have a good time and is not returned to see any team in Europe or America.

The National Team reached the 2018 World Cup in Russia in a dramatic way. On the last day of the South American Qualifiers, they reached the distressing classification, beating Ecuador away from home. Already in the World Cup, things did not go well and then the fight between the coaching staff and the most representative elements was uncovered.

Jorge Sampaoli led the Albiceleste and failed. They qualified with the jousts to the next round, product of a draw against Iceland, defeat against Croatia and a dramatic victory over Nigeria. In the round of 16, the coach failed against France and said goodbye amid criticism and division in the dressing room. After the appointment, he was fired by the AFA and Lionel Scaloni arrived in his place. The rest is history.

What does Jorge Sampaoli currently do?

After his difficult time with the National Team, where he even had an altercation with Lionel Messi, Sampaoli led Santos, Atlético de Mineiro and Olympique de Marseille. His last step as the manager was at Sevilla, where he was fired a few weeks ago, since the team where world champions Gonzalo Montiel, Marcos Acuña and 'Papu' Gómez play is on the verge of relegation. Now, he does not have a team and does not sound like anyone.
