Jorge Sampaoli has been tipped to become the next manager of Barcelona if Luis Enrique decides to vacate the managerial office at the end of the season. The Argentine is the current manager of Sevilla.
He has also managed Chilean club Universidad de Chelsea, and the Chilean national football team. At Universidad, he won the Tornea Apertura, Torneo Clausura and Copa Sudamericana. At Chile, he won the Copa America in 2015.
Sampaoli's managerial stats in numbers
- 190 games
- 115 wins
- 42 draws
- 33 defeats
- 60.5% win percentage
At Sevilla, Sampaoli is assisted by Juanma Lillo, a former mentor to Pep Guardiola. Lillo's presence at the Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan stadium has changed Los Rojiblancos' playing style, with many fans and pundits likening it with Barcelona's due to its high-tempo and constant possession of the ball.
And now, SkySports believes that the Sampaoli and his assistant could be the perfect replacement for Luis Enrique, who is seemingly running out of ideas at the Catalan club. Barcelona's hopes of winning the title this season hangs in the balance now that they are five points away from league leaders Real Madrid. Worse still, their recent performances have exposed a little bit of redundancy in the team, with little signs of improvement as far as the race for the title is concerned.

Another manager who has been linked with the job is former Barcelona player Ronald Koeman, who is also the manager of Everton. But the Dutchman's chances of crossing over from the Premier League to La Liga are quite low, thus giving the Copa America winner the upper hand in case Los Blaugrana decide to part ways with Enrique.
