Sampaoli may become the new coach of the national football team. What advantages does he have over Lippi?

After Lippi left office, the national football coach candidate attracted a lot of attention. There are rumors that Sampaoli may become the new coach of the national football team, so he also has an absolute advantage over Lippi. First of all, there is an absolute advantage in age. According to Chilean media reports, former Argentina national team coach Sampaoli has become one of the most popular candidates for the Chinese national football team. In particular, while in the Chilean national team, he led the team to win a historic Copa America.

Last weekend, former Chile and Argentina coach Sampaoli suddenly became a hot topic in mainstream European and American football media. He is negotiating with the Chinese Football Association to replace Lippi as the Chinese team's first coach in South America. Although the Chinese Football Association officially denied this rumor and did not hold talks with Sampaoli, it is certain that Lippi will not stay. The Chinese Football Association is already looking for Lippi's replacement. In addition to him, former Argentina and Colombia national team coach Pekerman is also on the list.

After the World Cup, Sampaoli became unemployed. Although there were some rumors about him during this period, none became reality. Last weekend, when he suddenly became the future coach of the Chinese team, Spanish media also emphasized that the Qatar Football Association was also working hard to win over the Argentine coach, who has a considerable annual salary. Although it is slightly lower than the offer from the Chinese Football Association, Qatar is the host country and does not have strong pressure to advance. This is the advantage of the World Cup host country.

For Sampaoli, the most embarrassing thing is not only the team's performance, but also the use of Messi. Personally, Messi doesn't want to be the second person to be attacked. He often won the title of assists leader when playing Spanish and European Cup Golden Boots with Barcelona and Ronaldo throughout the year. However, he was the first in the world to possess such attacking prowess, and in 11 games under Sampaoli, he only scored in three games, namely in the World Qualifiers and in a friendly for Haiti.
