"Tomorrow the club will announce that our paths will separate," he told Stadio Sprint. "We took this decision by mutual consent.

"I thank the fans for the affection they have always shown me."

Mazzarri has been in charge at the Stadio Luigi Ferraris since 2007 and guided Sampdoria to sixth place and a place in the UEFA Cup in his first season.

The former Reggina coach has been mentioned as a possible replacement for Davide Ballardini, who looks likely to leave Palermo, a move he admits he would be interested it.

"I would like that a lot," he said. "I like Sicily.

"However, I will think about my future from tomorrow."
