Quagliarella should be protected by UNESCO, jokes Sampdoria coach
Fabio Quagliarella netted his ninth Serie A goal of the season in Sampdoria's 2-0 win over Parma.
Sampdoria boss Marco Giampaolo joked veteran striker Fabio Quagliarella "should be protected by UNESCO" following his goal against Parma.
Quagliarella struck in the 69th minute of Sampdoria's 2-0 win on Sunday, moments after Gianluca Caprari had opened the scoring.
The 35-year-old now has nine goals to his name in Serie A this term, having netted 19 last season, and Giampaolo is in awe of Quagliarella's evergreen form.
"Quagliarella should be protected by UNESCO as a world heritage site," Giampaolo joked on DAZN.
"He is immortal. There really are no more words to say about him."
