Sampdoria, new board appointed

Sampdoria, new board appointed

President and board member Marco Lanna remains, but he is the only confirmation of the Sampdoria board of directors that went on second call this afternoon at the Ligurian club’s headquarters in Corte Lambruschini.

In fact, Matteo Manfredi, one of Sampdoria’s owners along with Andrea Radrizzani, and manager Emanuele Fiorella, a man trusted by the new ownership, join the board.

Out goes Alberto Bosco who, together with Gianni Panconi and Antonio Romei, who resigned in recent weeks, had led Sampdoria since December 2021, overcoming many difficulties from the financial point of view and succeeding in the feat of giving the company a future thanks to the arrival of the former Leeds chairman and his partner.

Sampdoria has just been relegated to Serie B after eleven consecutive seasons in the top flight. To try to relaunch themselves and return to the Olympus of Italian soccer, the blucerchiati have chosen Andrea Pirlo as their new coach.
