Claudio Ranieri announces he's leaving Sampdoria

Claudio Ranieri has announced he's leaving Sampdoria.

The Samp coach comes off contract next month and hints at disagreements with president Massimo Ferrero.

"I have already told the team that I will not remain for another year," he told the club's official website. “There aren't the right content and conditions to stay.

“I want to greet and thank the fans. I hope they liked me as a coach."

Sampdoria are currently ninth in Serie A with one match left this term.

“I want to thank everyone. The players were wonderful," he continued. “Especially in a moment like the lockdown, at the end of which we secured safety.

“This year we fought and fought, we played many good games, some bad, but that's football. I want to thank my players with all my heart."
