Genoa set to turn the page, will De Rossi return to the dugout? | OneFootball

The adventure of Patrick Vieira on the Genoa bench has reached its end credits. After days of reflection and internal tensions, the French coach decided to resign on Friday night, right on the eve of the crucial away match against Sassuolo. For the game at the Mapei Stadium, the rossoblù club has temporarily entrusted the team to Roberto Murgita and Mimmo Criscito. Two historic figures who are deeply connected to the Genoa environment. Murgita, a long-time technical collaborator, and Criscito, former captain and symbol of the club, will be tasked with regrouping a struggling squad, coming off the worst start for Genoa in Serie A: just three points in nine matches. According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, the new sporting director Diego Lopez — who replaced Ottolini — is already considering several profiles for the post-Vieira era. Among the names on the list are Daniele De Rossi, Paolo Vanoli, Luca Gotti, and Raffaele Palladino, but a foreign solution is not ruled out, which could gain traction in the coming days. Genoa is thus seeking a turning point, both on and off the field, to get a season back on track that began with high expectations and has so far been full of disappointments.
