Sampdoria was formed in 1946 from themergerof two existing sports clubs whose roots can be traced back to the 1890s,[1]Sampierdareneseand Andrea Doria. Both the team name and colours reflect this union, the first being a combination of the names, the second taking the form of a unique kit design, predominantly blue (for Andrea Doria) with white, red and black bands (for Sampierdarenese) across the centre of the shirt, hence the nicknameblucerchiati( "blue-circled" ).
Sampdoria play atStadio Luigi Ferraris,capacity 33,205,[2]which they share with Genoa's older club,Genoa Cricket and Football Club.The fierce rivalry between the two teams is commonly known as theDerby della Lanterna,and has been contested inSerie Afor most of its history.

History
editSampierdarenese and Andrea Doria (1891–1927)
editThe roots of Sampdoria are to be found in two teams born in the late 1890s:Società Ginnastica SampierdareneseandSocietà Andrea Doria.The former was founded in 1891 and opened its football section in 1899.[1][3]The latter, named after Genoese admiralAndrea Doria,was founded in 1895.[4][5]
Andrea Doria did not join thefirst Italian Football Championshiporganised by theItalian Federation of Football (FIF)and played on 8 May 1898. Instead, they played in the football tournament organised by the Italian Federation of Ginnastica.[6]The first ancestor of Sampdoria to play in the Italian Football Championship was Sampierdarenese, who joined thethird editionin 1900 for their only appearance beforeWorld War One.[7]
Andrea Doria eventually joined the competition in1902,but did not win a game untilthe 1907 edition,when they beat local rivals Genoa 3–1.[7]It was not until1910–11that the club began to show promise, finishing aboveJuventus,Internazionaleand Genoa in the main tournament.[7]
After the war Sampierdarenese finally began to compete in the Italian Championship replacing another club fromBolzaneto,then an independent town in the province of Genoa, calledAssociazione del Calcio Ligure.[7]Thus, duringthe 1919-20 editionSampierdarenese and Andrea Doria met in the championship for the first time. Doria won the first-leg game (4–1 and 1–1) and finished second after Genoa in the Liguria group, qualifying for the National Round.[7]
Andrea Doria ended up first in the Liguria group above local rivals Genoain the 1920-21 Championship.[7]
For the 1921–22 season the Italian top league was split into two competitions,one run by the Italian Football Federationanda second oneorganised by the secessionistItalian Football Confederation.Sampierdarenese joined the IFF tournament, while Andrea Doria and Genoa signed up for the one organised by the Confederation. Sampierdarenese won the Liguria section and then went on to the semi-finals, finishing top out of three clubs and thus reaching the final againstNovese.Both legs of the final ended in 0–0 draws, thus a repetition match was played inCremonaon 21 May 1922. The match went into extra time with Novese eventually winning the tie (and the Championship) 2–1.[7]
Byseason 1924–25,Sampdoria's ancestors were competing against each other in the Northern League; Andrea Doria finished one place above their rivals and won one match 2–1, while Sampierdarenese were victorious 2–0 in the other.[7]
From La Dominante to Sampdoria (1927–1946)
editA process of unification of the many professional football teams in Italy was started by the Fascist government. Particularly in 1927 multiple smaller clubs where merged into one all over the country. Among many other similar examples, four teams based in Rome merged and becameAS Roma.Similarly, at the end of the 1926–27 season Sampierdarenese and Andrea Doria merged for the first time under the nameLa Dominante.[8]

Wearing green and black striped shirts, La Dominante Genova lived a short life, having played just three championships, and was not particularly successful. The team was admitted to the1927-28 Divisione NazionaleGroup B, ending the season in 10th place.[7]The next season wasthe last year of Divisione Nazionale,and Dominante finished in 10th place. Finally, in 1929 Dominante competed in thefirst-ever Serie B tournamentwhere they finished third, just missing out on promotion.[7]
Dominante then absorbed the local teamCorniglianeseand competed in the1930–31 Serie Bunder the name ofFoot Ball Club Liguria.The team did not do well, finishing in 18th place and suffering relegation toPrima Divisione.[9]
Both Sampierdarenese and Andrea Doria reverted to their previous names in 1931 as separate clubs.[5]In the span of just a few years Sampierdarenese then climbed up from Prima Divisione to Serie B and finally Serie A. Ending up second in the Girone D of the1931–32 Prima Divisione,they got promoted to Serie B. After the uneventful1932–33 Serie Bseason, the team proceeded to win the1933–34 Serie Bchampionship and were promoted into Serie A for the first time.[9]
On 15 July 1937 Sampierdarenese absorbedCorniglianeseandRivarolese,with the club adopting the nameAssociazione Calcio Liguria.[10]This saw them reach fifth place in Serie A in 1939.[11]In the early 1940s, the club was relegated but bounced straight back up as Serie B champions in 1941.
AfterWorld War II,both Andrea Doria and Sampierdarenese (the name Liguria was abolished in 1945) were competing in Serie A, but in a reverse of pre-war situations, Andrea Doria were now the top club out of the two. However, on 12 August 1946, a merger occurred to createUnione Calcio Sampdoria.
The first chairman of this new club was Piero Sanguineti, but the ambitious entrepreneur Amedeo Rissotto soon replaced him, while the first team coach during this period was a man fromFlorencenamed Giuseppe Galluzzi. To illustrate the clubs would be equally represented in the new, merged club, a new kit was designed featuring the blue shirts of Andrea Doria and the white, red and black midsection of Sampierdarenese. In the same month of the merger, the new club demanded they should share theStadio Luigi Ferrarisground with Genoa. An agreement was reached, and the stadium began hosting Genoa's and Sampdoria's home matches.
Early years and the achievements in the Mantovani era (1946–1993)
editFor about thirty years the Genoese played constantly in Serie A, with mixed results, the best of which was in the 1960–1961 season, in which they obtained fourth place in the championship. In the 1965–1966 season Sampdoria finished sixteenth, relegating to Serie B for the first time in its history; however, the following year they won the second-tier championship and immediately returned to Serie A.
In 1979, the club, then playing Serie B, was acquired by oil businessman Paolo Mantovani (1930–1993), who invested in the team to bring Sampdoria to the top flight. In 1982, Sampdoria made their Serie A return and won their firstCoppa Italiain1985.In 1986, YugoslavVujadin Boškovwas appointed as the new head coach. The club won their second Coppa Italia in1988,being admitted to the1988–89 UEFA Cup Winners' Cup,where they reachedthe final,losing 2–0 toBarcelona.[12][13]Asecond consecutive triumphin the Coppa Italia gave Sampdoria a spot in the1989–90 Cup Winners' Cup,which they won after defeatingAnderlechtafterextra timein the final.[14]
This was followedonly one yearlater by their first and onlyScudetto,being crowned as Serie A champions with a five-point advantage over second-placed Internazionale. The winning team featured several notable players, such asGianluca Pagliuca,Gianluca Vialli,Roberto Mancini,Toninho Cerezo,Pietro VierchowodandAttilio Lombardo,with Boškov as head coach.[15]In the following season, Sampdoria reached theEuropean Cupfinal and were defeated once again by Barcelona, atWembley Stadium.[16]
Vujadin Boškovis recognised as one of Sampdoria's most successful managers winning a record amount of trophies and thus further establishing the club's reputation in Europe.
Decline, resurgence and decline again (1993–2023)
editOn 14 October 1993, Paolo Mantovani died suddenly and was replaced by his son Enrico. During his first season (1993–94), Sampdoria won one more Coppa Italia and placed third in Serie A. During the following four seasons, many players from his father's tenure left the club but many important acquisitions were made which kept Sampdoria in the top tier Serie A. This included the likes of Argentine internationalsJuan Sebastián VerónandAriel Ortega,and international midfieldersClarence SeedorfandChristian Karembeu.[14]In April 1995 Sampdoria reached the semi-final stage of the Cup Winners' Cup, losing out toArsenalon penalties after two legs.
In May 1999 Sampdoria were relegated from Serie A and did not return to the top flight until 2003. During this time, Sampdoria was acquired byRiccardo Garrone,an Italian oil businessman. Sampdoria returned to Serie A in 2003 led by talismanFrancesco Flachi,and ended their first season in eighth place. After several more top-half finishes, managerWalter Novellinogave way toWalter Mazzarriin 2007.[17]
With the signings of forwardsAntonio CassanofromReal Madrid,[18]andGiampaolo Pazziniin January 2008, Sampdoria ended the 2007–08 season in sixth position and qualified for the2008–09 UEFA Cup.[19]The following season, they came fourth and qualified for theUEFA Champions League play-offsunder managerLuigi Delneri,who left for Juventus.[20]With the departures also of CEOGiuseppe Marotta,and both Cassano and Pazzini, and the squad being stretched by Champions League football, Sampdoria were relegated to Serie B after a 2–1 loss at home toPalermoin May 2011.[21]In the following season June 2012, Sampdoria won promotion back to Serie A after defeatingVarese4–2 on aggregate in the play-off final.[22]
Following the death of Riccardo Garrone the previous year, the club was purchased from the Garrone family in June 2014 by the film producerMassimo Ferrero.After sixth-placed rivals Genoa in the2014–15 seasonfailed to obtain a UEFA licence for the2015–16 UEFA Europa League,seventh-placed Sampdoria took their spot.[23]The club built a solid foundation in Serie A for the next seven years. Notable managerial appointments wereMarco GiampaoloandClaudio Ranieri,as well as the steady flow of goals from talismanic strikerFabio Quagliarella.Growing tensions however surrounded Ferrero's presidency, fuelled by his well-known and public support ofAS Roma.Several attempts were made to sell the club, including to a consortium led by club legendGianluca Vialli.On 6 December 2021 Massimo Ferrero was arrested by Italian police as part of ongoing investigations into corporate crimes and bankruptcy. He resigned from his position as President of Sampdoria with immediate effect, whilst a club statement assured fans that the affairs of the football club were not a part of the investigations.[24]On 27 December, former playerMarco Lannawas appointed president. In January 2022 the club welcomed back former manager Marco Giampaolo after a disappointing start to the season underRoberto D'Aversa.On 6 February in his first home game back in charge, Sampdoria defeatedSassuolo4–0. Results however began to dwindle, and after eight games and a winless start to the 2022–23 season the club parted company with Giampaolo. On 6 October former Serie A player legendDejan Stankovićwas appointed to the role with the task of steering the club clear of the relegation zone. Sampdoria were later relegated in the 2022–23 season from Serie A to Serie B.
A new chapter (2023–present)
editIn late May 2023 formerLeeds UnitedownerAndrea Radrizzaniand the businessman Matteo Manfredi reached an agreement with previous owner Massimo Ferrero to buy Sampdoria and prevent it frombankruptcy.On 27 June 2023, former Italy and Serie A legendAndrea Pirlowas appointed as the manager.
Colours, badge and nicknames
edit
The white, blue, red and black colours represent the club's origins with a merger between two teams, Sampierdarenese and Andrea Doria, who wore respectively red/black and white/blue jerseys with a shield withSaint-George cross.[25]
The club crest features asailorin profile known byGenoesename ofBaciccia,a diminutive ofLigurianGio-Batta,ItalianGiovanni Battista,i.e.John-Baptist.The image of a sailor is used due to Sampdoria being based in theport cityof Genoa. The precise design of the Baciccia came from aDisney-licensed andPanini-published comic,Topolino,in 1980. Since 1980, the Baciccia has appeared on the shirts of Sampdoria, mostly on the chest but occasionally on the sleeve.[26]

edit
Since 1946, the club have played at theStadio Luigi Ferraris,also known as theMarassifrom the name of the neighbourhood where it is located, which has a capacity of 33,205.[27]It is the ninth-largest stadium in Italy by capacity. The stadium is named afterLuigi Ferraris(1887–1915), an Italian footballer, engineer and soldier who died duringWWI.[28]
The ground is shared with Sampdoria's rivals,Genoa CFC[29]The stadium was dismantled and rebuilt before the1990 FIFA World Cup,for which it hosted three Group C matches (betweenCosta Rica,ScotlandandSweden) and a round-of-16 match between theRepublic of IrelandandRomania.[30]
Supporters and rivalries
edit
Sampdoria supporters come mainly from the city of Genoa. The biggest group are Ultras Tito Cucchiaroni, named after an Argentinian left winger who played for Sampdoria. The group were founded in 1969, making it one of the oldest ultra groups in Italy. They are apolitical, although there are smaller groups like Rude Boys Sampdoria, who are left-wing, but today this group is no longer active. The main support with flags and flares comes from the southernCurva,Gradinata Sud.
