Andrea Mandorlini’s long-time assistant claims he did not follow the Coach to Genoa out of loyalty to Sampdoria.
Enrico Nicolini was Mandorlini’s right-hand man at CFR Cluj and Verona, but the 61-year-old will not be alongside the trainer at Genoa, having spent the start of his career with Samp, the Rossoblu’s arch-rivals.
“My father taught me, among many things, respect for people and love for Samp,” he wrote in a Facebook post.
