In a town where ambitions are ephemeral, a man dared to challenge those who always augured a black future in football. 'You will never triumph', people used to tell to this courageous and enthusiastic bank employee who dedicated most of his spare time to his passion. First as player and then as coach, 'El Zurdo' was increasing his fame in Casilda and its surroundings. Then he would revolutionize every team he coached. His professional rigor gave him results in an unusual competition. Years later, the world would know him as Jorge Sampaoli.
