Coach Jorge Sampaoli is happy to be in charge of Atlético-MG. However, the work routine at Cidade do Galo is quite different from the life he led in 2019 while training Santos. It is this part that misses the Argentine: living in Santos.

Sampaoli lived in the Pompeia neighborhood, near Channel 2, and used to go to CT Rei Pelé by bicycle or electric bicycle. The journey took about 15 minutes. A resounding success under Peixe’s command, the coach descended from the roof of the building where he lived to walk with his four dogs, stroll along the beach a block away, take footvolley lessons or even surf.

The coach was constantly stopped to take pictures with the fans during all the activities and always attended to everyone. His neighbors assured that the Argentine was extremely friendly in his dealings, from the fish shop on the street to the bakery on the corner, as he shows. sports.

In Minas, Jorge Sampaoli lives in Lagoa Santa, a city in the metropolitan region of Belo Horizonte. The coach chose to stay in a high-level condominium, closer to Cidade do Galo, the team’s training center. The distance is still considerable, requiring you to use a car to get around and drive on the freeway into CT. In Santos, Sampaoli even refused to live in the luxurious condominium where Pelé had a house to be closer to the beach.
