"Sevilla" club announces that its head coach Jorge Sampaoli has reached an agreement to work with the Argentine national team. The 57-year-old specialist took over the Spanish team just last summer and led them to fourth place in the Spanish championship this year. However, after Edgardo Bauza was released from his position as the head coach of the national team of his homeland, a position became available, which the strategist calls a dream job. Sampaoli mentioned this last week, after the last match of the season, where "Sevilla" crushed Pamplona's "Osasuna" with a score of 5-0. However, during that time the coach said that the Argentine Football Federation still needed to reach an agreement with the club, but now everything has been arranged. Bauza lost his seat as the national team coach after eight months in charge. With a 2-0 loss to Bolivian footballers, the 2014 World Cup runners-up might not even qualify for the next year's competition in Russia. "L Albiceleste" is currently in fifth place in the South American qualifying group with just four games left, which would only allow them to play an intercontinental playoff match against another team. Sampaoli's contribution was also evident in the friendly matches held in June against Brazil and Singapore, where he announced the lineup of the Argentine national team, with Mauro Icardi returning instead of Sergio Aguero. Other newcomers in this list include "Sevilla" player Joaquin Correa, "Atalanta" sniper Alejandro Gomez, "West Ham" forward Manuel Lanzini, "Tijuana" defender Guido Rodriguez, and "Roma" representative Leandro Paredes.
