Patrick Vieira has opened up on his appreciation for Sevilla Head Coach Jorge Sampaoli.
The NYCFC Head Coach spent the second week of the offseason in Andalusia observing the innovative Argentine’s work first hand.
Sevilla are currently rivaling the El Clasico duopoly in La Liga in this, Sampaoli’s first job in Europe, following an historic spell in charge of the Chilean national which saw him mastermind the Copa America win in 2015.
Renowned for implementing a high pressing and attacking style of play, Sampaoli is seen as one of the game’s greatest minds and Vieira was grateful for the opportunity to learn more about his methods.
