Sampdoria is seriously considering Davide Possanzini as the new head coach of the club. Following a recent meeting with the CEO of the football area, Jesper Fredberg, Possanzini left a positive impression, unlike other options Fredberg was considering, mainly foreign coaches. Possanzini, a former Sampdoria player in the early 2000s, has a playing style inspired by Roberto De Zerbi and has spent the last three years at Mantova. However, other candidates remain on the table, including Ryan Mason, current manager of West Bromwich, and Bo Henriksen, who is currently coaching in Germany at Mainz. A more intriguing name, Fabio Pecchia, a former blucerchiato player in the '90s, is less likely but still mentioned, having achieved success with Verona, Cremonese, and Parma. Meanwhile, Attilio Lombardo's future within the technical staff is uncertain. Lombardo, tied to the club until 2027, is the last remaining blucerchiato after recent dismissals. Today, an interlocutory meeting with Fredberg will take place to further discuss the situation. Finally, Americo Branco, the new sports director of Sampdoria, is awaiting official confirmation and to finalize appointments for the new head scout and for Lorenzo Ariaudo's promotion to technical director.
