On January 17, Beijing time, Sampdoria officially announced that the 46-year-old coach Daversa officially stepped down, and the two sides ended their 6-month cooperation.
After Ranieri's contract expired and he left, Sampdoria hired Daversa as the team's new manager in July last year. After only half a year of cooperation, Sampdoria decided to terminate his contract with Daversa early.
After being reversed 2-1 at home to Turin the day before yesterday, Sampdoria suffered three consecutive defeats + six winless games. With only three points in the last six rounds, Sampdoria temporarily ranked 15th in Serie A with 22 points, but they are still 4 points higher than Cagliari in the relegation zone, but coach Daversa can't escape the fate of being sacked.
In just 2 days, 2 managers in Serie A have been dismissed. Shevchenko was also sacked by Genoa before Daversa was sacked by Sampdoria, and the Ukrainian did not win a single win in his Debut Season in Serie A with 3 draws and 6 defeats.
Daversa is also the seventh manager to step down in Serie A this season, and in addition to Genoa's consecutive dismissals of Shevchenko and Baraldini, there are Udinese coach Luca Gotti, Verona manager Di Francesco, Cagliari manager Semprisi and Salenitana manager Castori.
Of the 20 teams in Serie A this season, the only three teams that have not changed their coaches from before the season are Venice, Bologna and Atalanta.
