Genoa announce Patrick Vieira's departure as manager | OneFootball

On the morning of this Saturday, through an official statement, Genoa announced the departure of French coach Patrick Vieira. The decision to dismiss the coach and his staff was made after a poor start in the Italian Championship, with only three points in nine rounds.

Promising Start and Poor Finish

Vieira took over the Genoa team in November 2024, shortly after the dismissal of Italian Gilardino, who had been in charge for two years. The Frenchman's start was promising, keeping the team in the elite of the Italian Championship, without real risks of relegation.

However, with the start of the current season, the team's performance dropped sharply. Genoa has not yet won in the current edition of the Italian Championship, with three draws in nine games. The team is at the bottom of the competition, two points behind Pisa, the first team outside the relegation zone.

What's Next?

The commission formed by Roberto Murgita and Domenico Criscito has the mission to find the path to victories for Genoa and score in the Italian Championship, while the club searches for a replacement coach. The team is also still alive in the Coppa Italia, where they will face Atalanta in the round of 16.

Genoa returns to the field this Monday, at 2:30 PM (Brasília time), when they face Sassuolo, away from home, at Città del Tricolore, for the tenth round of the Italian Championship.
