Talleres is in search of a new coach following Carlos Tevez's departure after a tough loss to Belgrano in the round of 16 of the 2026 Liga Profesional Apertura Tournament. The president of Talleres, Andrés Fassi, has expedited negotiations and is now in talks with Jorge Sampaoli, the former coach of the Argentina national team and Copa América champion with Chile. Sampaoli, who has never coached in the Argentine Primera División, could be facing his first experience at this level. The option of Martín Anselmi has cooled off, leading Fassi to explore the possibility of hiring Sampaoli. In the meeting between the two, no agreement was reached, but discussions continue in Córdoba, where Sampaoli is currently located. Talleres fans hope this decision will lead the club in a new direction in the Liga Profesional.
