Both the governing body head and former assistant Sebastian Beccacece are convinced it is only a matter of time before the coach takes over
Argentina Football Association (AFA) president Claudio Tapia has confirmed that he will enter negotiations with Sevilla in order to make Jorge Sampaoli the next Argentina coach.
Sampaoli, formerly of Chile and Universidad de Chile, has long been linked with taking over at the Albiceleste helm.
Those reports have only intensified since Edgardo Bauza was sacked shortly after Tapia was chosen as the AFA chief, with the president himself forced to deny he offered Sampaoli the job during a recent visit to Europe.
