Sampdoria president Massimo Ferrero has announced Sinisa Mihajlovic will leave this summer.
Mihajlovic is expected to move onto a bigger club.
"Who will be Sampdoria Coach? Until Sunday night it's Sinisa," Ferrero told Rai.
"There are three men in the running. I still have to talk to Sarri. Right now I want to focus on Serie A, because ever since people started talking about the next Coach it has all gone wrong."
However, after a 10 minute break he came back out to give extra information.
"One from Donadoni, Sarri and Sousa will be our next Coach."
