ROME (Reuters) - Sampdoria, fourth last term, suffered a humiliating relegation from Serie A after they lost 2-1 at home to Palermo on Sunday.
Rivals Lecce won 2-0 at already-relegated Bari to help condemn Samp with one round of matches still to play.
The Genoa side, last relegated in 1999, started the season in the Champions League qualifiers but sank like a stone after selling top strikers Antonio Cassano and Giampaolo Pazzini in January when they were in comfortable midtable.
Udinese retook fourth spot and the Champions League qualifying round berth thanks to a 2-0 win at Chievo which gives them a two-point cushion over Lazio heading into the final weekend.
