Mihajlovic confirms Sampdoria exit

The Sampdoria head coach has confirmed he will leave the Serie A club following its final game of the season.

Sinisa Mihajlovic has confirmed his departure from Sampdoria following the final game of the Serie A season, paving the way for a potential move to Napoli.

The Serb, head coach at Stadio Luigi Ferraris since November 2013, guided Sampdoria to a seventh-place finish this season, with its European qualification dependant on the outcome of sixth-place Genoa's appeal for a UEFA licence.

Mihajlovic has been heavily linked with a move to Napoli, which played its final game under Rafael Benitez on Sunday, and announced his exit in an open letter on Sampdoria's website.
