Sampdoria is currently undergoing restructuring with the arrival of Americo Branco as the new sporting director. Branco, who has signed a two-year contract, will be tasked with building the team for the upcoming Serie B season. His first challenge will be to choose a new coach, a crucial role for the club's future. Among the names in the running is Julio Velazquez, who recently won the Bulgarian championship with Levski Sofia. Velazquez also has a brief experience in Serie A with Udinese in 2018, making him an interesting candidate. Other names being considered include Ryan Mason and Mark Van Bommel, but the club seems inclined towards a foreign profile. Additionally, a renewal of Sampdoria's board of directors is expected by the end of June, with potential significant changes in management.
