Sampdoria relegated to Serie C for first time in history
Briefly

Sampdoria, once Serie A champions and European Cup finalists, has faced a historic relegation to the third tier of Italian football after a goalless draw against Juve Stabia. This marks a debacle for a club that won its only top-flight title in 1991 but has struggled for decades, failing to win a trophy since the Italian Cup in 1994. The situation worsened with multiple coaching changes throughout the season, notably the appointment of Alberico Evani in April, ultimately leading to their inevitable relegation after not participating in the playoffs.

Sampdoria's last trophy was the Italian Cup in 1994, after which they faced years without significant success leading to their recent relegation.
The club experienced instability with coaching changes, beginning the season with Pirlo and ending it with Evani, who couldn’t prevent their descent.
