Sampdoria coach Walter Mazzarri has pledged his future to the club by signing a new contract running until the summer of 2010.
The 46-year-old former Livorno and Reggina tactician's future with Samp had been in doubt, but he has now opted to stay on and take the helm for next season's UEFA Cup campaign.
Mazzarri commented: "My wedding is with Sampdoria. I had no other lover, all the rest counts for nothing.
"I am happy and I want to thank the board, the president and the fans. I will work with enthusiasm to bring success to these colours.
"I am sad for the past misunderstandings, but president Riccardo Garrone and I have still got a great relationship, which is now stronger than before.
"It is great that we are going to play European football next season."
