Sampdoria Dismiss Gregucci and Foti, Hand Training to Lombardo

The club acted after a 3-0 loss to Frosinone, with Salvatore Foti’s FIGC coaching derogation having expired.

Overview

  • Sampdoria confirmed the removal of head coach Angelo Gregucci and deputy Salvatore Foti in an official communiqué.
  • Attilio Lombardo has been placed in temporary charge of training while the club evaluates a permanent appointment.
  • The team sits one point above the Serie B relegation places, underscoring the urgency of the shake-up.
  • The 3-0 defeat at Frosinone precipitated the decision, and Foti’s temporary authorization to coach had just lapsed.
  • The search is underway with reports citing Beppe Iachini and Marco Giampaolo among candidates, and a sporting-justice ruling on the coaches is expected imminently.
