Genoa: De Rossi favourite for manager, Vanoli and Gotti in mix | OneFootball

After the divorce with Patrick Vieira, Genoa has initiated contacts to identify the new coach who will lead the team in the second half of the season. The rossoblù management is evaluating a shortlist of candidates, with Daniele De Rossi and Paolo Vanoli in pole position, while Luca Gotti remains in the background as a possible alternative.

Genoa, De Rossi in pole for the bench: Vanoli and Gotti also in the running

The former Roma coach is one step away from signing: there is an agreement until June with automatic renewal in case of survival.

According to sources close to the club, De Rossi has already met with Genoa's directors to discuss a possible appointment. The former Roma coach, coming off his experience in the capital, represents a profile that combines charisma, knowledge of Italian football, and a strong personality in the locker room.

Vanoli and De Rossi also on Fiorentina's radar

The name of Paolo Vanoli, former Torino coach and protagonist of excellent seasons at Venezia, is considered a concrete alternative. Appreciated for his modern tactical approach and ability to enhance young players, Vanoli is among the most sought-after coaches at the moment.

Not only Genoa: both Vanoli and De Rossi are on Fiorentina's shortlist for the post-Stefano Pioli era, confirming their growing importance in the Italian coaching scene. The next few hours could be decisive in understanding who, between the two, will receive the most concrete offer.

Criscito and Murgita to lead Genoa against Sassuolo

Pending the official appointment of the new coach, the team will be temporarily entrusted to an unprecedented tandem: Domenico Criscito and Roberto Murgita, the latter holding the necessary license for Serie A. The pair will lead the rossoblù in the match against Sassuolo, with the aim of bringing serenity and cohesion back to a group shaken by the recent weeks of fluctuating results.
