Foggi wants Napoli to join Serie A

By Football Italian staffThe former Napoli coach is set to take over at Sampdoria on a three-year contract with the option to extend for a further year.

“I’m happy to be here,” Foggis said.

“It’s a very important project for us.”

Foggis took over as Sampdora boss on a two-year deal in January 2016 after Giovanni Stagno was sacked following an 18-month spell in charge.

He was instrumental in the club winning promotion to Serie A last season, but has been struggling to keep his side in the competition.
