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.
