Sampdoria expects Pioli’s answer today: the latest

The loss to Hellas Verona will bring Eusebio Di Francesco's tenure at Sampdoria to an end. The former Roma manager is discussing the terms of his dismissal with the club, Stefano Pioli is the blucerchiati's top choice to replace him. Should he pass on the opportunity since he's also a candidate for the Milan and Genoa jobs, then Sampdoria will likely go for Iachini since Gattuso doesn't appear convinced by the opportunity.

Pioli is expected to give his answer today, in the meantime Gianluca Vialli's group have ended their efforts to acquire the club since they found the financial demands excessive.
