Trust in Sampdoria for a while Andrea Sottilcalled after three days to take over Andrea Pirlo to revive the fortunes of the Sampdoria team. A task that so far the coach has not succeeded in seeing the top positions that are worth direct promotion far away and has not yet managed to give a playing identity to his team with results and performances still too fluctuating. For this reason, the match against Catanzaro in the next round could be decisive for his future, especially if a victory does not arrive.
Sottil’s approval rating in the square is at an all-time low, a bit like what happened in the past to Giampaolo and Pirlo himself, with the environment challenging him in practically everything from the reading of the matches to the quality of play up to the management of some players like Borini, Kasami and Pedrola who aren’t entirely convincing. Furthermore, as he points out The 19th Centuryeven his way of communicating in recent times would be upsetting the fans.
A decisive change is therefore needed even if at the moment the club has not identified a possible replacement among the free technicians: Pirlo is still under contract, but there is a distrust towards him from the public that is not easy to manage, the other names such as those of Corini, Bisoli and Vivarini – all already with a sack under their belts in this Serie B – are not entirely convincing and a choice, whether Italian or foreign, based on algorithms could prove risky at this moment of the season. The margins of error are therefore equal to zero and for this reason a victory against Catanzaro would bring a sigh of relief.
