Sampdoria director Walter Sabatini admits he's enjoying his new job.

Sabatini joined Samp after cutting ties with Inter Milan last season.

"The sea air will be good for my lungs," he told Rai Radio Due.

“We are working on a project that already exists, so I am called to resolve problems that aren't here. What Samp want is to be more competitive and not rest on our laurels the way we did last season. We want a little more.

“Samp often played stellar football, but at times got complacent and didn't produce the results they ought to be aiming for."
