Rafa In Line For Italian U.C Sampdoria Job

U.C. Sampdoria's president says Rafa Benitez is 'one of the possibilities' the club are considering as manager for its first season back in Serie A. The newly-promoted side appears keen on a big name despite current coach Giuseppelachini earning the club promotion at the first attempt. Sampdoria president Riccardo Garrone said: 'There is nothing concrete but there have been talks, it's in progress.' Benitez, who led Liverpool to the 2005 Champions League, has been out of work after he was sacked by Inter Milan in December 2010. Iachini took charge in November with Sampdoria floundering in mid table. He turned things around, leading the team into the playoffs and to victory in the final against Varese. Iachini's contract was automatically renewed for a season by promotion. Courtesy of http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport
