Sampaoli's start to his work at Talleres has been complicated, with the team struggling to find consistency. The only win under his management came in a 4-0 victory over Platense earlier this month, with Brazilian player Rick Jhonatan scoring a hat-trick. However, this result has not been enough to turn the team's fortunes around, and they remain in a difficult position in the league.
Sampaoli has a wealth of experience in football, having previously managed Universidad de Chile and the Chile national team between 2011 and 2015. During this period, he won the Copa Sul-Americana and the Copa América, two of the most prestigious trophies in South American football. He has also had spells at Santos, Flamengo, and Atlético-MG in Brazil, where he won only one Campeonato Mineiro.
The team's next match is against Lanús, and it remains to be seen whether Sampaoli can turn their season around.
