Sampaoli no comando do Flamengo em jogo do Brasileirão (Créditos: Pedro Vilela/Getty Images)
Muller não se mostra contrário à presença de treinadores estrangeiros no Brasil, mas uma supervalorização com alguns nomes, incomoda o tetracampeão. Em entrevista ao “Entre Aspas”, do ge, ex-jogador deu posicionamento sobre o futebol na atualidade, e questionou o trabalho de alguns gringos badalados em solo nacional, entre eles, Jorge Sampaoli, que acumulou passagens por Santos, Atlético-MG e Flamengo.
Contundente na opinião, Muller disse que não conseguiu enxergar nenhum ponto positivo de legado que Sampaoli deixou no país, onde acumulou mais de 100 jogos, mais nunca conseguiu permanecer mais do que uma temporada em um time só. No entendimento dele, o argentino e outros treinadores estrangeiros estiveram longe de empolgar no país.
“O que o Sampaoli deixou de legado, já que essa palavra é tão famosa hoje? O que o Caixinha deixou? O que o Coudet deixou? Não deixaram nada, são treinadores medianos. A gente dá uma grande pompa para eles. O Sampaoli chegou naquele super Flamengo e não fez nada. Ele só ficava andando para lá e para cá, na beira do campo. O que ele deixou de bom? Deixou uma herança maldita, tem que pagar a multa rescisória dele”, disparou o ex-jogador, tendo citado ainda o português Vitor Pereira.
Números de Sampaoli no Flamengo
Depois de comandar Santos e Atlético-MG no futebol nacional, Sampaoli chegou ao Flamengo em 2023, sob forte expectativa. O argentino, no entanto, não conseguiu deslanchar, e viu o ciclo ser encerrado com meses de duração. Nesta trajetória, marcada pelo episódio de agressão do auxiliar para com o atacante Pedro, o treinador acumulou 39 jogos, com 20 vitórias, 11 empates e oito derrotas.
Atualmente sem clube, Sampaoli teve uma passagem curtíssima pelo Rennes na última temporada do futebol europeu, mas acabou sendo desligado do cargo com apenas 10 jogos à frente do time francês. Recentemente, ele chegou a ter um retorno ao Santos especulado, mas as tratativas não evoluíram.
Muller faz contraponto ao citar Abel Ferreira
Ao passo que avaliou negativamente a trajetória de Sampaoli em solo nacional, Muller rasgou elogios para o comandante técnico do Palmeiras, colocando em um patamar diferenciado, por ter se encaixado à cultura do futebol brasileiro desde a chegada e pelo protagonismo desempenhado à frente do time paulista.
Na concepção do comentarista, Abel Ferreira teria totais condições de assumir o comando da seleção brasileira, dado o trabalho contundente e identidade criada ao longo de cinco anos no país. No período em que o escrete canarinho esteve com treinador interino, o português chegou a ser cotado para a função, mas as conversas não evoluíram, uma vez que Ancelotti sempre foi visto como prioridade na gestão de Ednaldo Rodrigues.

Mariners finally make their big offseason move, bolster infield by acquiring Brendan Donovan from Cardinals
With a little help from a familiar facilitator, the Seattle Mariners finally executed the deal they’d been pursuing all winter on Monday, acquiring Brendan Donovan from the St. Louis Cardinals. The deal is a three-way swap including the Tampa Bay Rays, Seattle’s most frequent trade partner during president of baseball operations Jerry Dipoto’s decade-long tenure leading the front office. After months of reports indicating Seattle’s interest in Donovan — and uncertainty about whether the Cardinals would actually part with him as part of their dramatic offseason of offloading — it’s fitting that the Rays’ surprise involvement helped push this deal across the finish line.Here’s the breakdown:AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisementMariners receive: INF/OF Brendan Donovan (from Cardinals)Cardinals receive: RHP Jurrangelo Cijntje (from Mariners), OF Tai Peete (from Mariners), OF Colton Ledbetter (from Rays), Competitive Balance Round B Pick (currently No. 68, from Mariners), Competitive Balance […]
Stefon Diggs reflects on coming up short with Bills ahead of his first career Super Bowl with Patriots: ‘Wish things were different’
The Buffalo Bills traded to acquire ascending wide receiver Stefon Diggs from the Minnesota Vikings ahead of the 2020 season, hoping that he was the missing piece to unlock quarterback Josh Allen's potential and propel the franchise to its first Super Bowl championship.Diggs delivered on a lot of that promise. But the Bills ultimately came up short.AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisementIn his first season in Buffalo, Diggs went from a no-time Pro Bowler to a first-team All-Pro selection while leading the league in receptions and receiving yards. It was the first of four straight Pro Bowl selections and two All-Pro teams in three years for Diggs.And he indeed, helped Allen unlock his NFL potential. Allen went from completing a dismal 58.8% of his passes in his second NFL season to 69.2% in his first season playing with Diggs, a remarkable jump in accuracy that […]

Charlotte Hornets coach Charles Lee knows this is completely on him.Lee collided with Hornets star LaMelo Ball during their 102-95 win over the New Orleans Pelicans on Monday, resulting in what was a scary moment near the scorer’s table. Lee and Ball slammed directly into each other head-first while trying to grab a ball that was going out of bounds, which sent Ball to the court grabbing his head. Lee looked pretty banged up, too.Ball went to the locker room briefly after that but ended up returning to the game.“I took a play off, and you’re not supposed to take any plays off, and I thought the ball was going out of bounds,” Lee said. “I was gonna save it from going into the stands, and he was going to save the ball. We went head-to-head.“Credit to him, he didn’t […]
As another NFL coaching cycle lacks minority hires, Roger Goodell defends recent absence of diversity program
SAN JOSE, Calif. — On the heels of another hiring cycle that lacked racial diversity, NFL commissioner Roger Goodell said the league must continue to evaluate its systems — while not believing its recent decisions contributed to the trend.The NFL scheduled an accelerator program for minority coaches last May, with Goodell saying a year ago that the league remained committed to diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives even as the Trump administration discouraged them.AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisementThree months later, the scheduled program was deemed “postponed.” It has yet to happen.The hiring cycle that followed featured the hiring of nine white head coaches (the Las Vegas Raiders cannot officially hire Seahawks offensive coordinator Klint Kubiak until after the Super Bowl, but are expected to, per multiple media reports) and no Black head coaches.
