Manure dumped at Fredberg's home, Sampdoria: "Crossed every line"

Sampdoria condemned fans who dumped manure outside CEO Jesper Fredberg's home in protest over the club's poor Serie B form.

Sampdoria fans protested outside CEO Jesper Fredberg's private residence overnight, depositing manure and a defamatory banner as the club sits bottom of Serie B with just 5 points from 9 matches.

The club issued a strong statement condemning the act as "a grave and unacceptable violation of privacy" for Fredberg and his family. While acknowledging legitimate criticism and peaceful protest are understandable given the disappointing results, Sampdoria said the incident "represents an unacceptable crossing of every limit" and will not tolerate personal attacks on staff or executives.

The statement recognised fan frustration with performances falling short of the club's standards and committed to working with determination to reverse the season's course.
