Jorge Sampaoli Eyes Liga MX After Declining 2015 Mexico Offer

Sampaoli recalled a 2015 meeting with the Federación Mexicana de Fútbol where officials were ready to pay his release clause to appoint him national coach. He opted to remain with Chile, a choice that paved the way for his 2015 Copa América victory with La Roja. The Argentine tactician praised Mexican players for their aggressiveness, bravery and rebelliousness as ideal traits for bold projects. Currently unattached since departing Stade Rennais in January, he signaled Liga MX as an attractive next step in his career. He noted that Liga MX’s pool of talent and its history in international tournaments make it a compelling environment for his next appointment.
