Description
Match worn or issued Sampdoria long-sleeved home shirt during either the 1992-1993 or 1993-1994 season, by the club’s number 14. During this season, Sampdoria’s first team wore shirts numbered from 1 to 11 when starting a match. The substitutes wore numbers 12 to 16. During these seasons, multiple players on the bench wore the number 14, including Renato Buso, Giovanni Invernizzi and Michele Serena. And also players that played only one or a few games for Sampdoria: Roberto Bucchioni and Nicola Zanini.
The 1992-93 and 1993-94 seasons were a period of transition for Sampdoria after their golden years in the late 1980s and early 1990s. In 1992-93, under Sven-Göran Eriksson, the team finished 7th in Serie A and stranded early in the Coppa Italia. Key players included Roberto Mancini, Attilio Lombardo, Pietro Vierchowod and Enrico Chiesa.
In 1993-94, new arrival Ruud Gullit made an immediate impact as the club’s top scorer this season. The club managed a solid 3rd-place finish in Serie A, securing UEFA Cup qualification. Sampdoria won the 1993-94 Coppa Italia. The team remained competitive, with Mancini as the leader, alongside players like David Platt and Vladimir Jugović. The club was still strong but was moving away from its early ‘90s peak.
