Sampdoria, the latest news on the future of the coaching role after latest defeat

Sitting last in the table, just 3 points from 7 matches, Sampdoria are dealing with the aftermath from another defeat. The status of coach Eusbio Di Francesco is in the balance: the decision to sack Di Francesco is already been accounted for, and could be soon forthcoming.

If Sampdoria decides to sack him, among the names to replace him are Stefano Pioli, who has also had contacts with Genoa for their job (but they are awaiting the results from the match tonight). Another option is Beppe Iachini, who would return to Sampdoria after coaching them during 2011/12 season after their relegation had already been sealed, then leading them back to Serie A in the playoff.

More developments on Sampdoria's coaching situation will be forthcoming.
