Sevilla unveil Jorge Sampaoli as new head coach

Sevilla have announced that Jorge Sampaoli has been appointed as their new head coach.

The Argentine, who guided Chile to Copa America glory last year, replaces Unai Emery at the La Liga club.

Sampaoli has signed a two-year contract with the Andalusian outfit, who will play in the Champions League next term after winning the Europa League.

His new coaching role will be his first in Europe, having previously managed in Peru, Ecuador and Chile.

Emery, who parted company with Sevilla at the end of last season, is widely expected to take over at French giants Paris Saint-Germain following the departure of Laurent Blanc.
