Former Flamengo player, defensive midfielder Arturo Vidal gave another strong statement about his former coach Jorge Sampaoli. The player transferred from Mais Querido to Athletico – PR and made his debut this Sunday (16) against Bahia.

The player had already pinned Sampaoli in an interview on the field after the game against Bahia saying that the coach is a loser, but he gave a press conference and returned to talk about the coach. Vidal said that he is happy not to be with Jorge Sampaoli anymore.

“It is a subject that is closed to me. A lot of people told me who he was. I never paid attention, but now I realized what a person he is, what a coach he is. In fact, I feel happy not being with him”, said Vidal.


The player was signed in 2022, but his performance dropped in 2023 and the Chilean lost his place in the starting lineup of Jorge Sampaoli and ended up being traded to Athletico – PR.
