Sevilla coach Jorge Sampaoli confirmed that the negotiations between the Argentine Football Association and Seville regarding his appointment as coach of the Argentina national team are moving forward and are nearing completion.

"I admit that since my childhood I dreamed of coaching the national team of Argentina," said Sampaoli. "So how can I refuse when I received an official offer?

" Now the negotiations between representatives of the Argentine Football Association and the leadership of Seville are underway and I hope that the parties will come to an agreement ".

At the moment, Sevilla has already guaranteed a fourth place in the championship of Spain and secured a ticket to the qualification of the Champions League, while Argentina still takes the fifth place in the selection for the 2018 World Cup, which does not give a direct pass to the final tournament, and may be deprived of the right to intercontinental Playoff if he continues to squander points.
