Will Santos hire Sampaoli?
Fish discusses the feasibility of meeting the requirements minimally, but conversations between board and coach have not evolved in recent hours. The club accepted the salaries presented by Sampaoli, but is unable to make major investments in players.
Third party contributions, partners or investors would be required. Sampaoli would still charge changes in parts of the football department, with the departure of employees. Because of this, it is not unanimous and other names are studied.
