Jorge Sampaoli will leave his position as manager of Chile to join Flamengo if Wallim Vasconcellos wins the club's election on Dec. 9.

Sampaoli led Chile to the Copa America title this past summer.

Sampaoli has also been linked to Valencia.

"He has received other proposals. But he knows the strength and greatness of Flamengo," Sampaoli's representative, Gelson Baresi, told Globoesporte.

"I have to wait for the elections, because we do not know who will be president. What I can say is that this is not a political move."
