The decision comes four days after a 2-1 aggregate loss to Sao Paulo in the Copa do Brasil final and follows a poor run of results in other competitions, reports Xinhua.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\"Jorge Sampaoli and his technical committee are no longer at the helm,\" Flamengo said in a statement on Thursday. \"We thank him and his staff and wish them all the best in the future.\"<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Sampaoli, who replaced Vitor Pereira in April, led the club to 20 wins, 11 draws and eight defeats.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
In addition to their Copa do Brasil anguish, Flamengo were knocked out of the Copa Libertadores - South America's premier club competition - in the round of 16 in August.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
The Rio de Janeiro giants are currently seventh in Brazil's 20-team top-flight standings, 11 points behind leaders Botafogo.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Sampaoli is said to have had a strained relationship with several senior players following an incident in which his assistant, Pablo Fernandez, punched striker Pedro in the face after a match against Atletico Mineiro in July. Fernandez was sacked two days later.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Former Brazil national team boss Adenor Bacchi, better known as Tite, is the favorite to replace the Argentine.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Flamengo's next match is a home duel against Bahia in the Serie A on Saturday.<\/p>\r\n\r\n", "image": "https:\/\/img.cricketnmore.com\/uploads\/2023\/09\/ex-argentina-boss-sampaoli-leaves-flamengo.jpg", "alt_img": "Ex-Argentina boss Sampaoli leaves Flamengo", "alt_title": "Ex-Argentina boss Sampaoli leaves Flamengo", "image1": null, "video": null, "seo_title": "Ex-Argentina Boss Sampaoli Leaves Flamengo On Cricketnmore", "seo_desc": "Ex-Argentina Boss Sampaoli Leaves Flamengo, Rio De Janeiro: Former Chile and Argentina manager Jorge Sampaoli has been sacked as head coach of Flamengo after a.", "seo_keywords": "Rio De Janeiro, Former Chile, Jorge Sampaoli, Brazilian Serie, Sao Paulo, Vitor Pereira, Copa Libertadores, South America, The Rio, Pablo Fernandez, Atletico Mineiro, Former Brazil, Adenor Bacchi", "tag": "", "tagging": "Rio De Janeiro, Former Chile, Jorge Sampaoli, Brazilian Serie, Sao Paulo, Vitor Pereira, Copa Libertadores, South America, The Rio, Pablo Fernandez, Atletico Mineiro, Former Brazil, Adenor Bacchi", "status": "1", "img_rpt": "0", "google": "1", "standout": "0", "edapps": "0", "pulse": "0", "no_index": "0", "feed": "0", "fixture": null, "slug": "ex-argentina-boss-sampaoli-leaves-flamengo", "user_id": "0", "read_count": "0", "ians_date": null, "ians_time": null, "server_time": null, "trash": "0", "view_count": "776", "page_break": "0", "instant_articles": "1", "auto_link": "0", "created": "2023-09-29 09:30:04", "updated": "2023-09-29 09:30:04", "img_from": "Image Source: IANS", "img_source": null, "schedule_publish": null, "news_keywords": "Rio De Janeiro, Former Chile, Jorge Sampaoli, Brazilian Serie, Sao Paulo, Vitor Pereira, Copa Libertadores, South America, The Rio, Pablo Fernandez, Atletico Mineiro, Former Brazil, Adenor Bacchi", "livescore_text": null, "livescore_link": null, "btn_text": null, "resend_feed": "1", "google_feed": "1", "read_more": "0", "posted_by": "23", "jio_date": "2023-09-29 09:30:04", "scheduled": "0", "news_now": "0", "breaking_news": "0", "google_date": null, "featured": "0", "sports_name": "football", "cnmid": "800254", "link": "https:\/\/www.cricketnmore.com\/sports-news\/ex-argentina-boss-sampaoli-leaves-flamengo-9011" }
