As Brighton & Hove Albion’s attempt to sign Palmeiras manager Abel Ferreira continues to get the attention from the Brazilian media, we now get to see that the Seagulls have gone for an alternative in the market.
But first of all, let’s cover what ESPN Brasil has to say about the chase for the Verdão boss, as it’s now claimed that the Portuguese coach didn’t even want to listen to the offer.
So ESPN Brasil then adds that the Seagulls moved for another manager, which is Jorge Sampaoli.
It’s claimed that the Argentine boss was ‘approached’ by Brighton, even though there’s no information on what his response was.
The coach left Olympique Marseille at the end of the last season, despite having qualified them to the Champions League, but, just like most of his jobs, his departure was led by disagreements with the club board.
