Ferrero, Osti and Pecini watch on as Samp squad do battle

A 10-a-side training match was the highlight of the squad’s Thursday session. With club president Massimo Ferrero, sporting director Carlo Osti and chief scout Riccardo Pecini watching on, the players took part in a training match on pitch two at the Mugnaini in Bogliasco, which ended 1-1. Manolo Gabbiadini scored for the bibs, while Federico Bonazzoli netted for the non-bibs. Claudio Ranieri and his staff will put the players through their paces in a morning session on Friday.
