Genoa have officially announced the dismissal of Alberto Gilardino as head coach, effective immediately. The decision comes amid a string of underwhelming performances that have left the club seeking fresh leadership to revive their Serie A campaign.
In a swift move, Genoa have named Patrick Vieira as Gilardino’s successor, as exclusively reported earlier today. Vieira, a World Cup winner with France and a seasoned manager, brings experience from his time coaching clubs such as Nice, Crystal Palace, and New York City FC.
The club expressed gratitude for Gilardino’s contributions, particularly his role in guiding Genoa back to Serie A last season, but emphasized the need for change to meet their ambitions. Vieira’s appointment signals a new chapter, with the former Arsenal legend tasked with stabilizing Genoa’s season and steering them toward success.
