Overview

  • Sampdoria's relegation to Serie C marks the lowest point in its history, following 66 seasons in Serie A and a fall to Serie B in 2023.
  • A 0-0 draw against Juve Stabia, combined with wins by Frosinone and Salernitana, confirmed the club's drop to the third tier of Italian football.
  • The club cycled through four head coaches and utilized 38 players this season, reflecting deep organizational instability.
  • Fan anger boiled over after the relegation, with supporters attacking the team bus with stones and flares outside Luigi Ferrari Stadium.
  • Once a powerhouse with a 1991 Scudetto and European honors, Sampdoria now faces urgent calls for financial and sporting restructuring to recover its status.
