Di Marzio: Andrea Pirlo has been SACKED by Sampdoria

One point in three matches and second-to-last in the standings. Too little for Sampdoria's ambitions. Andrea Pirlo, after just over a season, has been sacked and will no longer coach the Blucerchiati. Sottil will replace him.

The former Juventus coach's position began to wobble after the defeat against Salernitana in the last round. The Ligurian management has now decided to change the head coach, handing the reins to Sottil, who resigned just over a month ago from the Salernitana bench. After a season and a few matches, in which the former midfielder managed to reach the playoffs, the paths of Pirlo and Sampdoria have parted ways.
