The 55-year-old coach joined Chile international team in 2012. Sampaoli has led the South American nation to their first major trophy at the 2015 Copa America.
Sampaoli says that his future is uncertain, at least until the elections of the Chilean Football Federation (AFNP) next month.
“I will wait for the elections on January 4 and see what are the plans of the new president of the ANFP. I negotiated with other people, but I need to know what the plan of the new president is and whether he approves or rejects my project.If I can contribute, I will continue,” he said.
Sampaoli – who has been linked with the Swansea City managerial vacancy – said his dream would be to lead his native Argentina.
The coach explained: “It’s a dream of every Argentine manager, the same as the players, to reach the national team. Every Argentine coach has the vision of managing Argentina at one point. I would like to go somewhere where there is hunger and ambition, where I feel like I could make history. I feel like Argentina has great potential. They have the best forwards in the world and they are on a step above the rest. The moment has arrived where they can translate it into success. For sure they will qualify for the World Cup and if they reach their potential, I can see them winning Russia 2018.”
