No more delegations, the management goes to the Asian investor: the confirmation of Lombardo, another change on the bench. Now away to salaries and nursery cuts
The official announcement slips to date, but with the choice of Massimo Donati as a new coach, the Sampdoria turned page. Wherever you analyze it, it is a decision that certifies the will of the Asian investor Joseph Tey to operate from now on independently (also) on the technical issues, beyond the pressure or the desired of the square. With Donati (annual contract) Davide Mandelli will also arrive in Bogliasco as deputy, while the composition of the rest of the staff remains to be defined. The fact that the fans, but also the sports director Andrea Mancini himself, had perished and pushed for the confirmation of Attilio Lombardo, deputy of Chicco Evani in the last six races and in the double playout, perhaps in tickets, perhaps in tickets with Donati, is irrelevant. This is proof that at the level of technical choices, the last word will be up to now on to the one who has put over 105 million in Samp in the last two years, delegating many strategic choices, but without achieving the set objectives.
the roles
–
President Matteo Manfredi will become a link between the various areas of the club, but in fact the choices will have to go to Tey and his collaborators. This is despite the murmurs of the square, fond of Lombardo and that concept of Sampdorianity of which there has also been talk of in recent months: the fans will have to make a reason for it. There is no more space for heart choices. Tey intends to recover his investment through the results, while remaining open to the entrance to companies of new capital or, why not, to also evaluate a passage of shares. Two solutions that would take medium-long times. It will therefore be up to the portfolio to guarantee the company that dozen millions by the end of the ongoing month, to pay the monthly month of June of salaries and contributions and guarantee liquidity – requested by the compensation chamber that regulates market operations among the clubs – to exercise the redemption obligations of 6 players hired last season with this formula. The DS Mancini will remain in its place, even if he had married the hypothesis-Lombard for the bench, but now he should start to collaborate with Donati instead. It is a revolution just started, but which should also concern other areas of the company, which has renounced the women’s team and will clearly reduce the youth sector, minimizing the teams, adopting a spending review also as regards the club’s structures. also involving the plant engineering and structures in use with youth levers.
the accounts

The reference shareholder also wants to reduce Mount Ingaggi, returning within the limits of the category, but it will be necessary to find a solution with those players such as tail and tuttino who have unsustainable salaries for the new club line. Needless to say, the market will also be at savings, when there are only 11 days left for the departure for the retreat of Ponte di Legno. The fans, skeptical and worried, ask for clarity. Too close the echo of the end of the last season to stay calm.
