Genoa unveil De Rossi as new manager | OneFootball

Genoa announced this Thursday the hiring of coach Daniele De Rossi, who signed a contract with the team until the end of the current season, in June 2026. The young 42-year-old coach arrives to replace the Frenchman Patrick Vieira, dismissed after a series of poor results in the Italian Championship.

With the announcement of Daniele De Rossi, assistants Roberto Murgita and Domenico Criscito, who led Genoa to their first victory in the Italian Championship, return to the team's permanent coaching staff.

Coaching Career

An idol of Roma, a club he defended for 18 years, De Rossi takes on his third team in his brief coaching career.

After retiring at Boca Juniors in 2020, the coach joined Roberto Mancini's coaching staff for the Italian national team in March 2021. He was part of the Euro Cup victory but was also present during the elimination in the 2022 World Cup Qualifiers.

After the Italian national team, De Rossi took over SPAL in October 2022. Competing in the national second division, the coach did not achieve good results and was dismissed in February 2023, with only 17 games.

In January 2024, he took over the team he idolizes, Roma. Despite all the admiration and connection with the club, he did not perform well with the team from the Italian capital. De Rossi stayed for only nine months and led the team in 30 games, with 14 wins, nine draws, and seven losses.

When does De Rossi debut?

The former player will already lead Genoa in the next Italian Championship match. This Sunday, at 11 am (Brasília time), the team will host the last-place Fiorentina at the Luigi Ferraris Stadium, for the 11th round of Serie A.

Currently, Genoa is in the 18th position in the Italian Championship, with six points, the same score as Pisa, the first team outside the relegation zone.
