Sampdoria is in a critical fight to avoid relegation to Serie B, as the storied club faces the prospect of dropping to Italy's third tier for the first time in its history. The situation has become increasingly precarious for the 1991 Italian champions and former European Cup finalists. However, a renewed sense of hope has emerged following the recent appointments of Evani and Lombardo as coaches.

The atmosphere around the club has shifted positively, particularly after the appearance of Sampdoria legend Roberto Mancini at a recent training session. Fans and players alike felt the energy during last weekend's match, where the team secured only its third victory since late October. This win has ignited optimism among supporters, who are rallying behind the team in its quest for survival. As Sampdoria continues to battle against relegation, the influence of its former heroes may just provide the spark needed to turn the season around.
