He had until now only told people he was there on vacation, but changed his tune in an interview with As in Barcelona.

“I don’t know anything about Espanyol. I ran into Angel Gomez in Rome, but we just chatted about football in general, as we knew each other from Ecuador.

“Lazio? There are negotiations, they do exist.”

It’s reported Lazio offered Sampaoli a contract worth €2.6m per year.
