In a formal agreement reached with Sevilla FC, the club confirmed that Jorge Sampaoli, the Argentine manager, would join the first team as head coach. This development marks the completion of a second tenure for Sampaoli at Nervión, following his leadership during the 2016/17 campaign. The arrangement positions him to guide the squad for the remainder of the current season, with an option for an extended period through June 30, 2024, ensuring continuity and strategic evolution for the squad’s performance in domestic and European competitions.
Delegated responsibilities for the immediate setup include the arrival of Sampaoli to oversee the initial training session of the day at the sports complex, scheduled for 6:30 pm. He will be supported by a coaching team consisting of Jorge Desio, Diogo Mesquite, and Pablo Fernández, each aligned to reinforce the coaching staff and deliver a cohesive football philosophy across all levels of the first team.
Sampaoli’s return to Sevilla FC places him in a position to build on a historically strong period where the club asserted itself among the top teams in Spain. During his first stint, the squad achieved notable milestones, consolidating a competitive edge that allowed them to challenge for high league standings and secure qualification to major European events. His management style emphasizes tactical flexibility, intense pressing, and a clear understanding of the club’s culture and expectations. The latest agreement aims to translate prior success into sustained results, reinforcing the team’s capacity to compete at the highest level in both domestic leagues and international tournaments.
