Inter Milan skipper Andrea Ranocchia has heaped praise on Sampdoria coach Sinisa Mihajlovic.
Inter meet Samp this week, with Mihajlovic being linked to Nerazzurri coach Walter Mazzarri's job.
"Sampdoria? I'm not surprised [by their form], as they have a great Coach in Mihajlovic and are a strong group," he said.
"It'll be a tough match, but now we are only thinking about recovering in time for Wednesday. We need a great team mentality and Sampdoria to be afraid of us."
