Sampdoria vice-president Edoardo Garrone insists coach Ciro Ferrara is safe.
Samp have lost six consecutive games.
But Garrone told Primocanalesport: "I'm not worried by a negative spell.
"With Ferrara I want to build a plan. It shouldn't be asked if he's at risk. I've never had the problem of the possibility of sacking him and I won't have it over the coming months, even if things go badly."
