Sampdoria are poised to make a significant change in their coaching staff, with Andrea Sottil expected to take over from Andrea Pirlo as the team’s new manager. This decision comes after a disappointing start to the season, with the club securing only one point from their first three matches.
Gianluca Di Marzio reports that the final straw appears to have been Sampdoria’s recent defeat against Salernitana, which has prompted the club’s leadership to take action. Official confirmation of Pirlo’s dismissal is anticipated in the coming hours, bringing an end to his brief tenure at the helm of the Blucerchiati.
Andrea Sottil, formerly of Udinese, has emerged as the frontrunner to succeed Pirlo. Sottil’s appointment would mark a new chapter for Sampdoria, who are eager to turn their fortunes around after a challenging beginning to the campaign.
The club’s decision to make this change stems from a combination of poor results and the substantial investment made during the recent transfer window. With 14 new players brought in, expectations were high for improved performance on the pitch.
Should the managerial switch be confirmed, Sottil is likely to make his debut in the Sampdoria dugout for the upcoming fourth-round fixture against Bari at the Stadio Luigi Ferraris.
