#4 A landmark in Pizzi’s Chile career
Juan Antonio Pizzi replaced Copa America winning coach Jorge Sampaoli at the helm of Chile back in January and just 5 months later, guides his team to another continental final.
The Spaniard had a difficult introduction to his international coaching career, losing 4 of the first 5 games in his tenure. The pressure was seriously mounting on him, but four consecutive victories that followed has helped him to cut himself some slack.
The latest was the most important of them all as it propelled the Reds to their second consecutive final and Pizzi stands on the cusp of a major landmark in his career should his side triumph in the finals.
