Since his departure from OM amid disagreements with his management in the summer of 2022, Jorge Sampaoli has struggled to breathe new life into his career. Unable to turn around Seville’s results, the Argentinian technician was dismissed from his duties in March, before experiencing the same fate at Flamengo in September. If he had been approached by OL recently, as he confirmed to The Team, “El Pelado” considered the timing inadequate. However, he claims to have excellent memories of Ligue 1, which he now considers more exciting than La Liga.
“They are two different championships, but Ligue 1 seems more exciting to me todayconfides the Argentinian technician. When I was there, there was Lionel Messi, Neymar, Kylian Mbappé at PSG, Lucas Paqueta at Lyon, very high level players and great teams, like Rennes or Lens. When I arrived in Seville in 2017, we took French players like Wissam Ben Yedder, Clément Lenglet, because they have the talent, the quality. The French can impose themselves everywhere.”
