Massimo Ferrero, president of Genoa’s Italian football club Sampdoria, filed a complaint to the Rome Police headquarters after long receiving death threats and bullets in the mail, according to the ANSA news agency.
The reason for the threats received by Ferrero could be connected with failed negotiations on selling the club to an American consortium led by striker Gianluca Vialli, who formerly played for Ferrero’s Sampdoria.
ANSA reported that Ferrero received bullets in the mail, along with letters threatening his life and banners from fans promising to “visit him”.

Earlier, Ferrero filed a complaint against angry fans who had insulted him at two restaurants in Genoa, causing him to escape escalation by sneaking out the back door.
In the previous season, Ferrero’s Sampdoria took 15th place in Serie A, but currently hold 14th place.
