In 2008, Sampaoli was appointed head coach of O'Higgins, a Chilean football club. He earned widespread attention by guiding the team to a third-place finish in the Chilean league—a remarkable achievement. Known for his high-pressing, offensive strategy, Sampaoli began building a reputation as a tactical innovator, emphasizing attacking transitions and collective play.
Sampaoli’s success with club teams led to his appointment as head coach of the Chilean national team in 2012. Under his leadership, Chile adopted an aggressive and dynamic playing style. He integrated key talents such as Arturo Vidal and Alexis Sánchez into the squad and fostered a high-tempo approach that brought tangible results.
His crowning achievement with Chile came in 2015, when he led the national team to their first-ever Copa América title. In a dramatic final, Chile defeated a star-studded Argentine team that included Lionel Messi, Sergio Agüero, and Gonzalo Higuaín. Sampaoli's tactical mastery earned him international acclaim, and later that year, he was shortlisted alongside Luis Enrique and Pep Guardiola for FIFA Coach of the Year.
In 2016, Sampaoli resigned as Chile’s head coach and was appointed as manager of Sevilla FC, a top-tier Spanish club competing in La Liga. During his tenure, Sevilla demonstrated impressive form, reaching third place in the league at one point and performing strongly in the UEFA Europa League. Sampaoli’s attacking style—reliant on forward pressure, quick transitions, and counter-attacks—proved effective in European competition and further enhanced his reputation as a modern tactician.
Jorge Sampaoli is married and currently resides in Seville with his wife and children. He maintains a relatively private personal life, with limited public details available. According to public sources, his annual salary is approximately $4 million, contributing to an estimated net worth of around $11 million.
