Sampdoria coach Sinisa Mihajlovic said he has not secured his future at the club, but is confident of negotiating a deal.
Mihajlovic is managing at his fourth Serie A club, after short stints at each of Bologna, Catania and Fiorentina since 2008, and also time in charge of Serbia s national team.
Delio Rossi was sacked by the club in November, and Mihajlovic steered Sampdoria to 12th and top-flight safety.
And the 45-year-old Serb is keen to remain at the Stadio Comunale Luigi Ferraris.
We talked, there is no signature yet, but we re getting there, Mihajlovic told Secolo XIX.
Am I staying? I cannot say anything. We are here, we re talking and will certainly meet again in a few days to discuss it some more.
I can say we are on the right track.
Mihajlovic had been linked to Lazio, but meetings with the club on Thursday were reportedly positive.
