Sampdoria secured Serie B survival after their game against Salernitana was suspended at minute 65 on Sunday night.
Sampdoria avoid Serie C relegation

Samp had been relegated in the regular season, but Brescia's financial irregularities led to a point deduction for the Lombardy-based side, who were relegated to Serie C instead of Sampdoria.
The Blucerchiati had won the first-leg playout 2-0 last week, and the second-leg tie against Salernitana was postponed from Friday to Monday due to a massive food poisoning outbreak in the Granata team.
Second consecutive Salernitana relegation

Anger from the Salernitana ultras forced the referee to suspend the game three times last night before it was ultimately terminated at minute 65. This means Samp will secure a 3-0 win by default, thereby ensuring their stay in Serie B.

Salernitana, on the other hand, have been relegated for the second time in a row as they had already been dropped from Serie A to Serie B just a year ago.

Baroni ‘well aware' of big Torino sales this summer
New Torino coach Marco Baroni 'prefers hard work to proclamations' about their ambitions, and assures he was 'well aware' the squad would sell top players this summer. The former Lazio boss was sacked after fumbling a spot in Europe with a final round home defeat to Lecce, but was not on the market for long, as he was snapped up to lead the Granata. He held his pre-season presentation press conference today and was asked what the objectives were for Torino. Baroni keeping Torino ambitions to himself Marco Baroni signs on as the new coach of Torino 'I think the objectives have to be taken on a day to day basis,' replied Baroni. 'I prefer hard work to proclamations, so I can't wait to get to know the Granata fans and sense their passion. We work and play here for the people. My team must pass on that emotion and soul.' The Toro squad is not quite the one that he inherited from Paolo Vanoli, as midfielder Samuele Ricci was sold to Milan, while goalkeeper Vanja Milinkovic-Savic has joined Napoli. 'I am accustomed to working with whoever I have at my disposal, all coaches have to adapt to a long transfer window that remains open even past the start of the season,' he insisted. 'Besides, I was well aware of the situation. You cannot keep hold of players when there are opportunities like that on offer. I am in constant contact with the club and we all know what is needed for this team.'
