Sevilla and the Argentine Football Association have agreed a deal in principle for Jorge Sampaoli to take over the Argentina national team.
The former Chile head coach had been strongly linked with the vacant managerial position for the Argentina national team in recent weeks.
And on Friday, Sevilla released a statement stating that all parties are satisfied with the agreement reached.
“Sevilla FC and the Argentine Football Association (AFA) have reached an agreement in principle for Jorge Sampaoli to become Argentina's national team manager,” a statement read on the club’s official website.
“The agreement is subject to the writing and presentation of relevant documents, which must be signed by all parties on Thursday 1 June.
“The figure implicated in the clause to release Sampaoli from his contract has not been compromised in discussions between Sevilla FC and the AFA, who have acted as Sampaoli's representative.
“All parties are satisfied with the agreement reached.”
Sampaoli only took over the reins at Sevilla last summer and guided them to a fourth placed finish in La Liga this season.
