Sampdoria appoints Bernardo Corradi as head coach, outlines staff and promotion push
Former Italy striker Bernardo Corradi was presented as the new head coach of Serie B side Sampdoria. During his introductory press conference he emphasized the club’s historic DNA and set an immediate goal of promotion, noting that “the only path is victory”. Corradi confirmed that former Genoa player Attilio Lombardo will join his staff to help transmit the Sampdoria identity, and he also mentioned the possible addition of Massimo Mutarelli, stressing both technical and human qualities in his selection.
The club’s official Instagram post commemorating the 37th anniversary of the 1989 Coppa Italia victory sparked a storm of angry fan comments, with supporters accusing the management of disrespecting the club’s history.
In the transfer window, Sampdoria is reportedly evaluating young midfielder Luis Hasa – a Napoli‑owned player who developed in Juventus’s youth system – as a potential addition to strengthen the squad for the upcoming season.
