The Argentine Football Association (AFA) finally announced Jorge Sampaoli will not continue as national team manager on Sunday, more than two weeks after their disappointing World Cup exit at the hands of eventual champions France.
The decision was revealed via Twitter:
Selección Argentina[SELECCIÓN MAYOR] En el día de la fecha, la @AFA y Jorge Sampaoli llegaron a un acuerdo mutuo para terminar su ciclo al mando de la Selección Argentina https://t.co/VUhqiiswnJ https://t.co/R0SxoxxPnc
Per Goal's Ryan Benson, Sampaoli had only been in charge since last year, with little going right for the team in that span.
