Sampdoria, Ferrero's anger: derby against Genoa will be decisive for Giampaolo

The match against Pescara didn't bring any relief for Sampdoria. The blucerchiati have only collected two points in the past six matches, and only eight overall this season. The team's track record can't satisfy president Ferrero who had hoped his recent dinner with coach Giampaolo would energize the team. But the continued struggles have made the upcoming derby match against Genoa decisive for Giampaolo, the team will not only have to play better but also obtain a result to ensure the former Empoli manager stays on board.
