Vieira, from historic record to nightmare: Genoa go from dream to disaster | OneFootball

Just a few months ago, Patrick Vieira was celebrated as the coach with the best points average in Genoa's history during the three-point era. With 1.54 points per game, the Franco-Senegalese coach had brought enthusiasm and unity back to a team that hadn't seen such results since the distant 1994/95 season. A milestone that seemed to open the door to a new cycle of stability and growth.

From Record Holder to Risk of Dismissal: Vieira's Journey at Genoa

Today, however, the scenario has radically changed. Genoa finds itself at the bottom of the standings, with just three points in the first eight matches, resulting from three draws and five defeats. This marks the worst start ever for the Ligurian club in the three-point era.

The latest defeat, suffered on Torino's field, has worsened an already delicate situation. After an initial lead scored by Thorsby, the rossoblù were overtaken by Sabelli's own goal and Maripan's goal, confirming a worrying trend: in the last four defeats, three came after taking the lead. A constant that highlights mental difficulties and a lack of solidity in key moments of the matches. Vieira's position is now shaky. From a performance leader to a coach on the brink, his journey at Genoa is the perfect image of the volatility of modern football.
