Hours of reflection at Sampdoria. The decidedly negative start to the season for the Blucerchiati team, with one point in three games, has focused the club’s attention on the coach Andrea Pirlo. His team, revolutionized in the summer market by the technical area manager Pietro Accardi in concert with the club, shows the same gaps and the same fragilities as last year. Tuesday night’s defeat in Salerno led president Manfredi to make some assessments on the coach’s work and the final decision will be made tomorrow.
Pirlo towards dismissal
According to what our editorial team gathered, we should be moving towards the dismissal of the former world champion midfielder in 2006 who last year managed – despite a thousand difficulties and injuries – to reach the playoffs. This year, however, expectations were different, especially after the grafts arrived in the summer. The path therefore seems to be traced.
Manfredi’s words
The Blucerchiati number one himself had spoken thus, commenting on the 19,344 season ticket holders: “We will know how to match this incredible testimony of love with an ever more ferocious commitment and will in the pursuit of our shared objectives”. “We must immediately find the right spirit and – he continued, focusing on the match in Salerno which in fact failed to meet expectations – the determination that characterises us”.
