Recently, after the dismissal of head coach Davide Ballardini by the "Palermo" club, Genua's "Sampdoria" followed suit. The team decided to part ways with their coach Walter Zenga.
The 55-year-old specialist, who represented the team as a player for two years, was hired in July - after Sinisa Mihajlovic left for "Milan".
Under the guidance of the Croatian, "Sampdoria" finished last season in seventh place in "Serie A", but this year after 12 matches, the Genua team is only ranked tenth.
The final straw that tested president Massimo Ferrero's patience was the 0-2 defeat against Florence's "Fiorentina". "Sampdoria" has only celebrated one victory in their last seven matches.
According to reports from the Italian press, former "Fiorentina" coach Vincenzo Montella is considered the most likely successor.
