Sampdoria are considering alternatives to Coach Walter Zenga and the favourite seems to be Gigi Del Neri.
With just one competitive game under his belt, Zenga is already on the chopping block and President Massimo Ferrero did not publicly back his tactician beyond next week.
The disastrous 4-0 Europa League home defeat to Vojvodina on Thursday could well prompt Samp into a change of management already.
Sampdoria are considering alternatives to Coach Walter Zenga and the favourite seems to be Gigi Del Neri.
With just one competitive game under his belt, Zenga is already on the chopping block and President Massimo Ferrero did not publicly back his tactician beyond next week.
The disastrous 4-0 Europa League home defeat to Vojvodina on Thursday could well prompt Samp into a change of management already.
Zenga is also under fire for blocking Samp’s attempts to sign free agent Antonio Cassano, beloved by fans and President Ferrero.
According to Sport Italia, the favourite to take over the Blucerchiati if Zenga does get the chop is Del Neri.
It would be a remarkable return for the man who was already in charge of Samp in 2009-10.
He took them into qualification for the Champions League play-offs, then left for a deeply disappointing spell at Juventus.
Del Neri had 13 games at rivals Genoa, but has not been working as a Coach since he was sacked in January 2013.
It’s also reported that Cassano will be signed if Zenga is dismissed.
Cassano had several arguments with Del Neri during their time together, but appear to have resolved those differences.
