Sampdoria have sacked Andrea Pirlo as manager after over one year at the club, the Serie B club said on Thursday.
The Serie B side started the season with one draw and two losses, leaving them second-bottom on the table.
Pirlo, who won the World Cup as a player with Italy in 2006, had one year as Juventus coach in 2020-21 after briefly coaching their under-23 team.
Pirlo was appointed as manager in June 2023 and although they had their moments, the side has not been consistent.
Sampdoria finished second in the second tier last season and their poor start to the new season has cost Pirlo his job.
