Jorge Sampaoli, known for his strong media presence and controversies in Brazilian football, is about to return to Santos. According to journalist Ricardinho Martins, the Argentine coach has a verbal agreement with the club to resume technical command in 2025. The confirmation came this Wednesday (24), when the communicator revealed that Peixe must fire the current coach, Carille, shortly after the end of the Brazilian Series B Championship.

"I was in Vila Belmiro for the broadcast of the game and I found out that Santos and Sampaoli have already agreed everything verbally", declared Ricardinho Martins. The journalist also highlighted that, although the contract cannot yet be made official, several sources confirmed the agreement reached between the parties.




THE RETURN TO FISH< /b>

Sampaoli returns to Santos after a remarkable spell in 2019, when he managed to lead the team to second place in the Brazilian Championship. Despite his turbulent exit at the time, the coach was always recognized for his competence. Many believe that the Argentine was not national champion that year only due to Mais Querido's historic season, which had coach Jorge Jesus and presented high-level football.


Sampaoli's last job in Brazil was at Flamengo, where he did not achieve the expected success and left without winning titles. His time at Mengão was marked by frustration, with criticism regarding the lack of consistency in the team's results and performance.


CHALLENGES IN THE NEW CYCLEThe possible return to Santos creates expectations about how Sampaoli will face the challenges of the 2025 season. In his last spell, he had good results in the Brasileirão, but he also accumulated controversies on and off the field. The environment that awaits it, however, may be more favorable now that the club is looking for a new phase after Series B.
