Official: Sampdoria hire Evani and Lombardo, but free role for Mancini
Sampdoria have officially appointed former player Alberico Evani as coach, with Attilio Lombardo as his assistant, but Roberto Mancini will only be an unofficial 'consultant' awaiting other jobs.
Sky Sport Italia had reported today that the trio of former Samp heroes would return to Marassi to help save the club, which is at genuine risk of relegation into Serie C, the third tier of Italian football.

Angelo Gregucci and Paolo Bertelli complete his coaching staff, with their first training session on Tuesday afternoon.

Having Mancini, Evani and Lombardo back at the club had been the dream of Gianluca Vialli, who had tried to lead a conglomerate to purchase Sampdoria before ill health and his death in January 2023.
