Sampaoli's tenure at Talleres was marked by a poor run of form, with the team finishing last in their group. His record at the club was 1 win, 2 draws, and 4 losses. The 66-year-old coach had previously expressed his dream of coaching an Argentine football team, but his time at Talleres has come to an abrupt end.
Sampaoli took over at Talleres in June, succeeding Carlos Tévez, who was fired despite a fourth-place finish in the tournoi d'ouverture. Tévez's departure was also due to the team's elimination in the eighth finals of the tournoi de la phase finale by CA Belgrano. Sampaoli's experience in the French Ligue 1 with Olympique de Marseille (2021-2022) and Stade Rennais (2024-2025) did not seem to translate to success in Argentina.
The Argentine coach has now been given his marching orders, leaving the club to search for a new manager. Sampaoli's departure comes as a surprise, given his experience and reputation in the football world. However, his record at Talleres speaks for itself, and it's clear that the club has decided to move in a different direction.
