Venzia have signed Sampdoria coach Luciano Spalletti as their coach for next season.
The side were promoted to Serie A last summer and have survived a season in that elite league finishing in mid table.
Spalletti was fired last November by Samp - who were themsleves sent down to Serie B this season - and replaced by David Platt in his first managerial position. The experiment was disastrous and Platt's managership was terminated after only 44 days before Spaletti was re-hired to complete the season. He replaces Walter Novellino who leaves the Northern port city to take charge of SS Napoli who fired former Bologna coach Renzo Ulivieri last week.
