In the wake of the slap suffered at home against Monza (0-3), Sunday during the 8th day of Serie A, Sampdoria Genoa had dismissed its coach Marco Giampaolo.
His replacement has been found: Dejan Stankovic.
The former Serbian midfielder has signed a lease until June 2023, with an optional year.
This is his second experience on a bench after a stint on that of the Red Star of Belgrade, a position from which he resigned at the end of August.
