Sampdoria, meeting between sporting director Osti and Eusebio Di Francesco scheduled for today

Carlo Osti and Eusebio Di Francesco will have lunch together to talk about the future and understand the feasability of starting an adventure together. The Sampdoria sporting director had already targetted DiFra back in his Lecce days in the 2011 summer, and despite the not so great experience with the Giallorossi, Osti's esteem for the coach hasn't changed.

Di Francesco will expose his technical and economic requests to become the new Blucerchiato coach at lunch. Stefan Pioli still is an important candidate though, as a second option, while president Ferrero wants to evaluate every option that would become available in the coming weeks.
