Sampdoria sack Corradi as crisis deepens

Sampdoria sack manager Corradi after five defeats in seven Serie B games; Marco Giampaolo is the leading candidate to replace him.

Sampdoria have officially sacked manager Bernardo Corradi following Sunday's home defeat to Arezzo, the club's fifth loss in seven Serie B matches this season. The Genovese side sit bottom of the table with just four points. The club thanked Corradi for his dedication and confirmed a new manager will be announced in the coming hours. Marco Giampaolo, who previously managed Sampdoria in Serie A from 2016–2019 and again from January to October 2022, is the favourite to take over.
