Genoa weighing up Viera and Ottolini exits, both could leave soon | OneFootball

These are hours of reflection at Genoa. The rossoblù club has not started well this year and currently sits in 20th place with just 3 points from 9 matches. For now, despite the defeat against Cremonese, Viera has been confirmed, but in the coming hours the club could decide to relieve both him and sporting director Ottolini of their duties. For the next match against Sassuolo, the internal solution of Criscito is being considered.

Genoa-Viera, Heading Towards a Breakup. Ottolini Could Leave as Well

We have talked about Fiorentina, who are experiencing the worst start in their history. A similar situation is happening at Genoa, who, after a good season last year with Viera on the bench, have started this one really badly. At the moment, the standings show last place, with just 3 points and victories achieved. This is also due to a transfer market not quite up to par with the departures, but that cannot be an excuse, since the Grifone are now used to revolutionizing their squad every year due to the loss of their best players.

In the eye of the storm are coach Patrick Viera and sporting director Ottolini. The latter could end up at Juventus, regardless of what the rossoblù management decides. As for alternatives to the French coach, there are currently no hot names, although the most plausible seem to be Paolo Vanoli (already on Fiorentina’s radar) and Daniele De Rossi, who has been without a bench since being dismissed by Roma. The decision about their future could come at any moment. Therefore, they might not wait for the match against Sassuolo to try to turn the season around as early as this weekend. In fact, if the former Nice coach were to be relieved of his duties, the (temporary) internal solution would likely be Mimmo Criscito, coach of the under-17s and historic captain of the club.
