Official: Sampdoria hand bench to Gregucci, Foti named his assistant | OneFootball

The crisis continues at Sampdoria. After last season’s failure, which ended with salvation in the play-outs against Salernitana, this year the tune hasn’t changed. Despite yet another revolution in recent years, results are still hard to come by and the squad, even though it includes some top players in the division, is struggling to get going. With only 5 points from 8 games, the Blucerchiati are trying to immediately change course with yet another change on the bench.

Samp, here’s the new coach. Gregucci chosen as a surprise, Foti his assistant

Sampdoria is called to an immediate change of direction. The defeat against Virtus Entella was just the drop that made the vase wobble. After only 5 points in 8 matches, the Ligurian club has sacked Massimo Donati, who had been entrusted with the bench in the summer with hopes of a revival that never came. Now the club is ready for yet another revolution. Perhaps this is exactly what Sampdoria is missing: balance and stability, which, however, cannot come without results.

In the end, the final decision on the club’s next coach has arrived. Even though it seemed everything was set for Foti to become the new Blucerchiati manager, in the end the choice fell on Angelo Gregucci, a loyal follower of Mancini who had already been chosen last season as technical collaborator to Alberico Evani. However, Salvatore Foti will also be there. Mourinho’s historic assistant will be part of the technical staff as assistant coach.

The Mancini family, together with their longtime companions and friends, will therefore try to lift Sampdoria, which for the past two years has not been able to see the light at the end of the tunnel. Yet the squad boasts highly respected players such as Barak, Coda, Henderson, Ferri, and Pafundi, Roberto’s protégé who just a few days ago scored his first goal as a professional in Italy.
