"The Argentina Football Association and former national team coach, Jorge Sampaoli, have mutually agreed to the termination of their contract, as well as the physical trainer, Jorge Desio , and the video analyst, Matías Manna. "said the mother entity of Argentine football.

His main collaborator, field assistant Sebastián Beccacece, had already resigned on Friday the 6th, to assume days later as modest coach of Defensa y Justicia, team of the Argentine Super League, made that reinforced the rumor that the "Sampaoli cycle" had ended.

The Argentine press had advanced a few hours before the official statement that Fernando Baredes, the lawyer of Sampaoli, had accepted a proposal that had approached him, the president of the AFA, Claudio Tapia, and that the disengagement would be signed on Monday.

According to the word agreement, the AFA will compensate the coach with two million dollars to discontinue the contract which has extended until the Qatar World Cup 2022, an advantageous arrangement for the entity if it is taken into account that the exit clause of the technique was $ 8,624,000.

The coach who previously led the Chilean national team and Spain's Sevilla left Albiceleste after 13 months and an opaque performance at the 2018 World Cup in Russia, where the Argentina was eliminated in the round of 16 by France.

This has not been the case for the Argentine team since the 1974 World Cup in Germany.
