TIL Desk Sports/ Jorge Sampaoli said during his first press conference as coach of Santos that it is”incredible” to be with the team where the legendary Pele became a star. “This is the most important challenge of my career because it’s what’s ahead and people have a clear idea of what they expect from me and I have to make my style work in a difficult league,” he said in the auditorium of Sao Paulo’s Pacaembu stadium on Tuesday night.
The 58-year-old Argentine said that the offer from Santos came after he had analyzed a lot of other projects and that he didn’t hesitate to sign with the Brazilian club. “I believe I’m in the place where the cradle of footballis, from where the best players sent to Europe come,” Sampaoli said.
He said that the club’s history of star players like Pele – who led Brazil to three World Cups – and current Brazilian captain Neymar, obliges him “to think more” about scoring than defending. Sampaoli coached Argentina during the 2018 World Cup, where they were eliminated in the knockout stage by eventual champion France.
