There’s a sense of change in the air at Sampdoria. The club has in fact decided to dismiss coach Massimo Donati due to the poor results achieved in the first part of the season.
Massimo Donati, therefore, will no longer be the Blucerchiati’s coach. The club made this decision after the latest defeat against Chiavari, which was the straw that broke the camel’s back. This match marked the lowest point of a poor run of form for the team, which currently finds itself in 18th place in Serie B with just 5 points, earned through 1 win and 2 draws in 8 matches played. Additionally, they were knocked out of the Coppa Italia on penalties against Spezia. To turn around this drastic situation, the club has called upon a former Blucerchiato who, in recent years, has worked alongside one of the greatest managers in history, the Special One.
On his way, then, is Salvatore Foti. Former assistant to Mourinho at Roma and, most importantly, a former Blucerchiati player, he will be tasked with reviving a team that believes it can achieve more. Foti’s mission will be to give hope to his players, instilling in them a “Mourinho-esque” mentality. As for the coaching staff, it’s not yet known who will be part of it, but it’s likely that Lombardo will be at the Palermo native’s side. His debut is therefore expected next Saturday against Frosinone.
