Sampdoria have confirmed the appointment of Domenico Di Carlo as the club’s new coach.
An official club statement read:
"Sampdoria announce it has signed a two-year agreement with Mr. Domenico Di Carlo as head coach of the first team. The new coach of Sampdoria will be presented to the press tomorrow, Thursday, May 27 at 12.00.
Di Carlo joins the Blucerchiati from Chievo, who he guided to a 14th place Serie A finish, and replaces Luigi Del Neri who joined Juventus after securing Champions League qualification for Samp.
“It was an offer I simply couldn’t refuse,” a delighted Di Carlo told the club's official website.
“I am aware that I have some big shoes to fill, but the responsibility does not frighten me.
“Certain chances come along rarely and you have to grab them. I wanted to stay with Chievo but when I was offered the opportunity to go into the Champions League preliminary round, I could not refuse.”

De Rossi sparks police row
Wednesday 26 May, 2010
Daniele De Rossi has been forced to apologise after the FIGC distanced itself from his criticism of the police.
The Roma star explained why he is against the new 'fan passport’ that will be obligatory for supporters travelling to away games from next season.
“I don’t like this kind of profiling before people have done anything wrong. Also, considering some recent events, we would also need to introduce a passport for the police.
“I don’t think it’s the solution to the problem. Of course, if an ultra goes around with a knife and stabs someone, then he’s not right in the head. But at the same time we cannot condone a policeman who kicks a lad for no reason.”
Within hours the FIGC had released a statement distancing itself from De Rossi’s comments and President Giancarlo Abete called the player personally.
“We do not share his evaluations and ask him to maintain the utmost respect for the efforts of the security forces in a role that is crucial for the country and the sport.”
Minister for the Interior Roberto Maroni was also furious, while chief of police Enzo Letizia was “offended” by De Rossi’s comments.
“These are grave and offensive words aimed at the men and women of the police force who, for very little pay, ensure the safety of citizens and players from the hooligans who hide in the stands,” said Letizia.
Eventually De Rossi backtracked with a new statement from the Italy training camp.
“I realise that I used an unfortunate expression and apologise. It is always wrong to generalise.
“I did not want to doubt the role of the police force and have great respect for the efforts of many officers who every Sunday work to guarantee safety in football.”
