(Reuters) - Sampdoria coach Claudio Ranieri said on Friday that he would leave the Serie A club at the end of the season after nearly two years at the helm where he ensured their top flight survival.

The former Leicester City and AS Roma manager was hired in October 2019 when Sampdoria were at the bottom of the standings and the 69-year-old guided them out of the relegation zone to finish 15th.
