Vincenzo Montella looks increasingly likely to leave Sampdoria and take up the Italy bench, kicking off a domino of Coaches.
The 3-0 defeat in the derby against Genoa embittered the Blucerchiati supporters and seemed to signal a possible end to the relationship between the Coach and his club.
While exponents from the club had previously been categorical that Montella would not depart, more recent interviews reveal a sense of uncertainty.
According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, Montella's possible departure from Sampdoria opens the gates for him to the national team.
Italian Federation President Carlo Tavecchio is on the hunt for a replacement as Coach Antonio Conte is set to leave the Azzurri after Euro 2016, joining Chelsea instead.
Montella is believed to be his favourite candidate, alongside Albania Coach Gianni De Biasi.
Should the Aeroplanino leave Sampdoria, he would then be replaced by either Empoli's Marco Giampaolo or Chievo's Rolando Maran.
On the other hand, it's unknown what the future holds for Sampdoria President Massimo Ferrero, as he was the object of harsh protests during the derby, and he seems to have lost support within the club.
