There is a constant in Jorge Sampaoli's work, in addition to the good football presented by most of his teams. Voltage. The Argentine coach is known for his innovative work and strong personality, appearing almost always screaming and incessant movements in the technical area, but tensions and bad relationships are as common news in the environments where he passes as the constant requests for reinforcements.
The most recent example is at Flamengo, where striker Pedro was punched in the face by physical trainer Pablo Hernández, after being humiliated with three slaps to the face after the Red-Black victory over Atlético-MG, for the Brasileirão 2023. Hernández ended up getting fired. Most likely, this was the most tense point in the confusion of the career of a coach who had disagreements even with Lionel Messi in the Argentine national team.
In addition to the aggression suffered by Pedro, Jorge Sampaoli already adds up to other controversies in the Flamengo locker room. Both striker Marinho and midfielder Arturo Vidal left the club in 2023 due to differences with the Argentine commander. Vidal even openly criticized Sampaoli – with whom he had already worked in the Chilean national team. “A loser who doesn't know how to appreciate his players”, said Arturo about the former commander on his arrival at Athletico-PR.
In his second passing through Sevilla, in Spain, the results were bad and the relationship with the athletes wasn't good either. “We don't understand the tools they give us”, said the Argentine Marcos Acuña, who also drew attention for having crumpled a note written by Sampaoli, directed to the team, during a match.
“We play with anarchy and we depend on luck”, said Moroccan goalkeeper Bono, who stood out at the 2022 World Cup. After Sampaoli's resignation, Sevilla left the fight against relegation in the Spanish Championship and still managed to get another Europa League title for their collection.
Sampaoli's passage through Atlético-MG, in 2020, was not marked by major public fights, but reports at the time indicated that the coach and his staff were distancing themselves from other professionals at the institution. The script for his final moments at Galo also involved a troubled relationship with the club's board.
Jorge Sampaoli's first spell in Brazilian football was at Santos. And perhaps he presented the version of Sampaoli that was more “at ease with life”, but even so, the Argentine starred in controversy. After a victory over Bahia, for the 2019 Brasileirão, the coach from Santos called a Peixe fan to join the fray. At the end of the year, Sampaoli fought with the club's president, José Carlos Peres, before leaving Vila Belmiro. commanding a limping Argentina squad at the 2018 World Cup, Sampaoli led the Albiceleste to a round of 16 elimination by France. The coach left the selection of his country without being missed. The coach had already lost the locker room during the World Cup itself, and even had a fight with Lionel Messi.
Even at its most victorious work, in the Chilean national team, Jorge Sampaoli had controversies. His departure from office, in 2015, was marked by fights between the coach and the local federation. Sampaoli's salary was even leaked to the press, with amounts being deposited in banks in tax havens. Sampaoli understood the leak as an attempt to tarnish his image and sued the Chilean federation. The parties reached an agreement in January 2016.
A fanatical fan of River Plate in his childhood, Sampaoli was fired from a bench for having engaged a physical fight with a Boca Juniors fan when he was 20 years old. Decades later, as a well-known trainer, he humiliated a policeman on the way out of his daughter's wedding. At the time, Jorge's car was with seven people and was stopped by the authority. Sampaoli had to be restrained so as not to attack the policeman and would have mocked the low salary received by the policeman, calling him “stupid”.

Flamengo will face Grêmio in Porto Alegre, but an important absence has already been confirmed: Gabigol, one of the team's main attackers, will not travel with the red-black delegation. The player will remain in Rio de Janeiro, where he will focus on improving his physical form. The decision not to take the striker to the capital of Rio Grande do Sul aims to ensure that he has enough time to dedicate himself to physical preparation at Ninho do Urubu, the club's training center. Although there is no confirmed injury, Flamengo appears to be taking precautions to avoid wear and tear that could compromise the remainder of the season.
This choice may surprise some fans, as Gabigol is one of the team's key players and, generally, an undisputed starter in decisive matches. The absence of Gabriel Barbosa, known as Gabigol, raises questions about how Flamengo should arm the team offensively for the clash.

The expectation is that the coach will use these options to compensate for the striker's absence.
The decision to spare Gabigol may be related to the club's long-term planning. Flamengo faces a marathon of important games, and the physical recovery of its athletes becomes essential to maintain performance in simultaneous competitions. According to information released by Mauro Cezar, Gabigol is focused on improving his physical side. This could mean that the player has been feeling the wear and tear accumulated throughout the season.

This preventive measure is common in clubs that compete in several competitions and have a tight schedule. With this, the idea is that the athlete returns in better condition, ready to perform at a higher level in the next matches.
