Sampdoria fired manager Andrea Pirlo.

Andrea Pirlo, Sampdoria's manager and former Juventus legend and leader, has been fired.


Overnight, speculations surfaced that Sampdoria was evaluating Pirlo's future after the club failed to win its first three Serie B games.

The decision has already been made, with Gianluca di Marzio announcing that the Italian has been fired following a string of unsatisfactory results. According to TMW, Pirlo left the club's training complex minutes after the decision was made.

Marco Giampaolo has been cited as a possible contender in recent hours, as has Andrea Sottil, who managed Udinese in Serie A two seasons ago. It is unclear who will take over for Pirlo or whether an interim manager will be appointed.

Pirlo had led the club to the promotion play-offs despite numerous injuries, but they had failed to return to Serie A.

Canada's confident performance led to a historic away victory over the USA.

On Saturday, two North American rivals met, and Canada defeated the United States 2-1. One team was still riding high off their fourth-place result at Copa América 2024, while the other was a blend of young talent attempting to discover their identity under an interim coach. With such a significant contrast in confidence, the visiting Canucks defeated the Stars and Stripes on their home turf for only the second time in history. Canada dominated the first half, with 11 shots to one, and the first of two blunders resulted in the opening goal. A turnover gave the ball to Jonathan David, who sent it wide to Jacob Shaffelburg. The 'Maritime Messi' blasted with his left foot into the far right corner, beyond goalkeeper Patrick Schulte. 23 - Canada defeats the United States Men's National Team on American territory for the second time, and the first since 1957. The victory stops the USMNT's 23-game home unbeaten streak against Canada, the longest against any opponent in team h...
