Argentina sacks Sampaoli after chaotic World Cup
Jorge Sampaoli has paid the price for a poor World Cup, with Argentina announcing his departure.
The Argentine Football Association (AFA) has announced Jorge Sampaoli will not continue as national team head coach following a chaotic World Cup.
After taking the reins in 2017, Sampaoli oversaw the revival of Argentina's World Cup qualification campaign, the Albiceleste finishing fourth behind Brazil, Uruguay and Colombia. His team made it out of the group stage, before being knocked out 4-3 in the round of 16 by France.
