You have to put on adventure glasses if you are going to find a way for Sampdoria to survive in Serie A. – There have only been 16 matches played, absolutely anything is possible, but the team seems to be as old in the legs as the manager they want to bring in to save them.
Sampdoria with only 6 points in 15 games have contacted Claudio Ranieri who led the team between October 2019 and June 2021 before he disastrously took over Watford who wanted to leave the Championship and return to the Premier League.

This season has been a disaster for Sampdoria. In October, Marco Giampaolo was fired in favor of former Inter Milan player Dejan Stankovic. The Serbian has not been able to turn the tables, where the team is currently second last in the Serie A table with four losses in a row.
It is nothing new for Sampdoria to be in crisis, I cannot think of any managers in recent times who have been employed after a thorough recruitment process.
The loss against bottom rival Lecce at home on Saturday may have been the last straw. Now Sky Sport Italia’s Gianluca Di Marzio reports that the club is working to bring in its third manager this season. Claudio Ranieri has been identified as a replacement for Stankovic. The 71-year-old has managed a number of big clubs, but he is best known here at home for his miraculous Premier League championship as manager of Leicester City.
