Montella set to replace Zenga
Former Fiorentina coach Vincenzo Montella is on the verge of taking over at Sampdoria following the recent sacking of Walter Zenga, according to reports.
Montella, a former star of Roma when the Giallorossi won the second of their two league titles, in 2001, became an immediate target for Sampdoria's flamboyant film producer president Massimo Ferrero.
Talks between the clubs initially stalled because Montella, who left Fiorentina under a cloud towards the end of last season following a disagreement with the club's president and billionaire businessman Andrea Della Valle, still has a contract with the Florence-based club.
