Sampdoria boss Marco Giampaolo dreams of Barcelona

Current Sampdoria boss Marco Giampaolo has admitted he would one day love to be appointed as Barcelona Coach.

The 51-year-old is in his third full season at the Italian club and has earned a reputation for a passing and pressing philosophy, which is often associated with the Catalan club.

“My desire is to coach Barcelona one day but now I’ve seen everything, I no longer go after certain things,” he told La Stampa.

The Swiss-born boss has been coaching at the top level of Italian football across the past 15 years, with previous stints at clubs including Cagliari, Catania, Brescia and Empoli.
