Sampdoria Relegated to Serie B
Udinese sends Sampdoria to Serie B with a 2-0 victory.Sampdoria's fate of playing in Serie B next season was sealed on Monday after losing 2-0 against Udinese with only four games remaining in the current season. Sampdoria, the winner of the Scudetto in 1991 and four-time Coppa Italia champion, is at the bottom of the Serie A standings with 17 points, trailing 13 points behind Hellas Verona, who won 1-0 against Lecce last Sunday.
The team last faced relegation in the 2010-11 season, but was able to return to the top flight of Italian football one year later. Their local rivals, Genoa, secured their promotion to Serie A after being away for a season.
Sampdoria's loss against Udinese, with goals from Nahuel Molina and Roberto Pereyra, means the club is mathematically relegated to Serie B. Despite a good performance from Sampdoria's goalkeeper Audero, who made several saves during the game, the team couldn't turn the game in their favor.
The club's fans will be disappointed, as their team has been a fixture of Serie A for the majority of the past 30 years. Sampdoria's relegation also means that there will be one less team from the city of Genoa in the top flight of Italian football.
The club will now have to rebuild and try to earn their place back in Serie A next season. With four games left to play, they will likely use this as an opportunity to give younger players some game time and prepare for the challenge ahead.
As for Udinese, they have secured their Serie A status for another season and will be looking to finish the season strongly. They are currently in 12th place with 41 points, six points away from the relegation zone.
In conclusion, Sampdoria's loss against Udinese confirms their relegation to Serie B next season.

Meanwhile, Udinese has secured their place in Serie A and will be aiming to finish the season on a high note.
