1 point after 3 games doesn't cut it, samp will sack him

Di Marzio says he's a goner and will be replaced with Sottil. Pirlo did so well last season, until the end. Samp has had a huge transfer overhaul, bringing in 15 new players, but his team has huge concentration issues and that's on the manager.

This is all experience for him though isn't it? The Juve job was a shot in the dark but coaches have all different career trajectories. Some are 34 and hit the ground running but others have to do their time and work it out.

He might ultimately be mediocre, but he will get a few more jobs (if he wants them) to show one way or another. His philosophy might be great but that's only a tiny part of coaching.

He chose the wrong club, samp were relegated the season before and with new owners, they felt they can get back to serie A. What he needs is a mid table serie B team than one that has the ambition to promote in one or two seasons.

It's the actual management part that I think is missing. Charisma and communication skills were never really his strong points. Tactically he was a focal point, but he was never a leader in a team.

God I'm so glad we got to see him play his last years as a top player in bianconero. Proper class act, from an era where players could stick out as individuals.
