Sampdoria coach Marco Giampaolo opens door to move away

Sampdoria coach Marco Giampaolo has left the door open to a move away this summer.

Samp will finish mid-table this season.

“I've not made a decision yet and I haven't received any offers from other clubs," the 51-year-old told Corriere dello Sport.

“I look forward to meeting President Ferrero and talking to him. I don't have a strategy for this meeting. Zero.

“We'll assess the work we've done in our three seasons together, what can be done and where can we get to.

“I can't stand losing anymore. For me, every defeat has become a rupture and I feel like killing someone when I'm beaten.

“[Giovanni] Galeone once told me: 'It's better drown in the ocean than in a glass of water.' He was right: great players improve coaching ideas and make those ideas great.

“It's not definite that I'll leave Sampdoria. I have respect for the club and in these three years we've enjoyed some satisfaction, beating all the best teams except for Lazio."
