Samp s new coach: Mourinho sent me a message to congratulate me after I took office. I will never forget the time I spent working with him.

Sampdoria coach Salvatore Foti said that Mourinho sent him a congratulatory message.

Foti first said: "Mourinho is a guarantee of success. He is one of the great coaches with the most trophies and one of the best communicators. We have worked together and have unforgettable emotional memories in Rome and Turkey. It was an incredible experience. We not only gained success and satisfaction, but also gained from setbacks."

Foti continued: "I also spent three very good times with Giampaolo and grew up. He made the fans happy, winning 4 derbies and drawing 2 times. Understand certain jobs, such as defensive line placement and ball control. But starting in the second year, he gave me incredible trust and allowed me to be a big part of that team that had a lot of great performances. "

Finally, Foti talked about his coaching plan, "Now we just need to think about bringing motivation and identity to the team, and establishing in training what we need to show in the game. Use a two-striker formation? We have to always find a balance, watching a game on TV is not the same as experiencing it in person. But the possibility exists and we will consider it. Now we have veteran Koda on the front line, and we have high hopes for him. He is not only a leader, but he must also convey confidence to the whole team. "
