Sampaoli👔 to Take Charge of Santos🇧🇷.
Jorge Sampaoli has reached an agreement with Santos to become their new manager, the Brazilian club confirmed on Thursday.
In the announcement, Santos said that while a deal had been reached with the former Argentina and Chile boss, the final details must still be worked out.
Should everything go according to plan, Sampaoli will sign the deal after meeting face-to-face with Santos this weekend.
Sampaoli has been unemployed since managing Argentina at the 2018 World Cup.
The 58-year-old took over the Albiceleste in May 2017 and guided them during a turbulent qualifying cycle that saw the nation nearly miss out on Russia, with a Lionel Messi hat-trick against Ecuador on the final day of qualifying required to get them to the World Cup.
In Russia, Argentina struggled to a draw against Iceland and a heavy defeat to Croatia before narrowly securing passage out of the group stage with a victory against Nigeria amid reported strife between Sampaoli and many of his players.
