Chile coach Jorge Sampaoli says he is being held like a "hostage" after his request for a reduction to his exit clause was denied.
Jorge Sampaoli says he does not want to continue as coach of Chile, claiming he is being "held like a hostage" by the Football Federation of Chile (ANFP).
Sampaoli led host Chile to its first major honor at the 2015 Copa America and was nominated for the FIFA Coach of the Year award, while he has also been linked with Premier League champion Chelsea.
But the Argentinean has become increasingly unsettled following the resignation of former Football Federation of Chile (ANFP) president Sergio Jadue in November amid a corruption investigation.
