Brescia points deduction offers Sampdoria relegation lifeline
ROME: Sampdoria could escape their first ever relegation to Italy's third division after Brescia were hit with a four-point deduction yesterday. Sampdoria drew their final game of the Serie B season 0-0 on May 13 to finish 18th in the 20-team division. The bottom three are all relegated while the teams in 16th and 17th meet in a two-leg playoff. Brescia finished two points and three places above Samp but on Thursday were punished by an Italian Football Federation (FIGC) tribunal for accounting and administrative infractions. Brescia dropped to 18th and face immediate relegation while Samp are heading for a two-legged play-off against Salernitana. The two matches are scheduled for June 15 and 20 June, which gives Brescia time to appeal. Sampdoria were Italian champions in 1991 and European Cup finalists the following year. They are one of seven Italian clubs who have played all their football in Serie A or Serie B and never dropped into Serie C. Sampdoria were relegated to Serie B in 2023. They were close to going bust but were saved by current president Matteo Manfredi and former Leeds United owner Andrea Radrizzani, who has since exited the club. The club's majority shareholder is Singaporean businessman Joseph Tey. Samp made the promotion playoffs last season but posted a loss of 40.7 million euros in their 2024 accounts. Club icons Alberico Evani and Attilio Lombardo were hired as coaches in April in an attempt to save Samp from the drop after significant transfer market activity both last summer and in January. Evani is Samp's fourth head coach of the season after Andrea Pirlo, Andrea Sottil and Leonardo Semplice.

Sampdoria relegated to Serie C for first time
ROME: Sampdoria dropped down to the third tier of Italian football for the first time on Tuesday after a goalless draw with Juve Stabia consigned them to the lowest point in their history. Italian champions in 1991 and European Cup finalists the following year, Samp finished 18th and in the direct relegation zone for Serie C after collecting 41 points from 38 games. Tuesday's draw allowed Salernitana to leapfrog Samp into one of two relegation play-off places with a 2-0 win at Cittadella. Samp, who posted a loss of €40.7 million (RM196.5 million) in their 2024 accounts, have spent the last few seasons dealing with serious financial problems and have spent this season sinking towards the drop after making the Serie B play-offs last season. Samp were close to going bust after relegation to Serie B in 2023, but were saved that summer by current president Matteo Manfredi and former Leeds United owner Andrea Radrizzani, who has since exited the club.
