Following a hard-fought victory against Reggiana, which secured three vital points in the fight for league survival, the Sampdoria squad and staff celebrated a performance full of heart and determination. The ritual run, first under the Sud stand and then the Nord, led by Angelo Gregucci and his staff, was met with enthusiastic approval from the fans. Supporters didn`t just applaud; they chanted: `We want you like this.` This crucial win allowed the Blucerchiati to end the current period by finally moving their heads above water and capitalizing on the missteps suffered by their direct rivals.
Coach Angelo Gregucci emphasized in his press conference that this was truly a `team victory,` attributing the recent success to the diligent work of the entire staff. Working quietly and effectively, the coaching team—including key members like Salvatore Foti, Nicola Pozzi, Attilio Lombardo, Franco Ferrini, Alberto Berselli, Alessandro Giuliani, Walter Bressan, Marco Ferri, and Gauthier Vanderloock—have successfully fostered both improved results and noticeably higher performance levels across the squad.
The numbers undeniably reflect this upturn. Since the arrival of the Gregucci-Foti duo, Sampdoria has secured 12 points in their last ten matches, a run comprising three wins, three draws, and four losses. Despite facing numerous difficulties, this specific form places them tenth in the league table over that period. While their overall position prohibits any relaxation, requiring continued focus and effort, strategic interventions during the upcoming transfer window could allow the club to approach the future with considerably greater optimism.
