Chilean coach Sampaoli: Dream of coaching the Argentine national team

Chilean national team coach Sampaoli recently said he dreams of coaching the Argentine national team.

Sampaoli, 55, began coaching the Chilean national team in 2012 and led the team to the first Copa America title in team history in July 2015. However, the Argentine coach revealed that his future is uncertain at the moment, and at least until after the election of the president of the Chilean Football Association next month, a definitive statement will be available.

"I will wait until the election on January 4 to see what the plans for the new FA president are," Sampaoli said. "I've negotiated with other people, but I need to know the new chairman's plan and figure out whether he agrees with or rejects my plan." If I can continue to contribute, then I will stay. ”

Sampaoli was also recently linked to Swansea, who just fired the manager. Sampaoli says his dream is to coach his native team, the Argentine national team.

"It's a dream for every Argentine coach, so are the players, and we all want to be in the national team," Sampaoli said. "Every Argentine coach wants to coach the Argentine national team for a certain period of time."

"I want to coach where there is desire and ambition, a place where I feel like I can make history," Sampaoli continued. "I think Argentina has a lot of potential. They have the best strikers in the world and they are a level higher than other teams. ”

"The time has come for them to turn it all into success. One thing is for sure that they will qualify for the World Cup finals and if they can reach their full potential, then I think they can win the 2018 World Cup in Russia. ”
