Domenico Di Carlo will return to coach Chievo next season, the Serie A club announced on Thursday, after a previous stint at the helm of the Verona outfit between November 2008 and June 2010.
He replaces Stefano Pioli, who joined Palermo after guiding Chievo to safety in the 2010/11 season.
Di Carlo, 47, was sacked by Sampdoria on 7 March as the Genoa club vainly sought to stave off the threat of relegation.
He kept Chievo in the Italian top flight in 2008/09, before leading them to a 14th-place finish a year later.
His exploits with Chievo saw him taken on by Sampdoria, who had qualified for the UEFA Champions League qualifying phase but who were relegated at the end of the season.
