Sampdoria defender Jeison Murillo is happy playing for new coach Claudio Ranieri.

Ranieri stepped in for Eusebio di Francesco last month.

Murillo said, "It's great to play regularly in a League I have already played in, know well and like a lot.

"I've played in practically all the games. Things aren't going as we would've liked, but the change in coach is a positive change for us.

"Results are improving."
