In Serie A, Sampdoria lost 1-0 to Milan with a goal by Rafael Leao. Thus, Marco Giampaolo, who was coaching Sampdoria, lost to his former team.
Before the match, Marco Giampaolo talked about his Milan days. The Swiss coach said that the Milan adventure was disappointing.
“MILAN FANS DO NOT RECOGNIZE ME”
Marco Giampaolo stated that he served in Milan for a very short time and described the time he spent there as a ‘picnic’.
“I probably went to the right place at the wrong time. I think I deserved it then and I was there, but it shouldn’t have ended like this.”
“I didn’t even coach Milan, the fans don’t remember me. It was a 7 game picnic”
WHAT DID MARCO GIAMPAOLO DO IN MILAN?
Giampaolo’s tenure at San Siro was short-lived. The Swiss coach made only 7 games at the head of the team.
Milan hired Giampaolo in 2019 after parting ways with Gennaro Gattuso and started the 2019-20 season with the Swiss coach.
Giampaolo was sacked after making 7 appearances in Serie A at the head of Milan. Giampaolo had 3 wins and 4 losses in 7 matches.
Milan management, which transferred the team to Stefano Pioli after parting ways with Giampaolo, continues to work with the Italian coach.
Giampaolo, who worked in Sampdoria between 2016-19, coached Turin for a season after his short-term Milan adventure. The 54-year-old coach has returned to Sampdoria this season.
