Managerial Change Following Crucial Victory
The 42-year-old De Rossi steps into the role following the departure of Patrick Vieira, who was dismissed after Genoa suffered defeat to Cremonese. At the point of Vieira’s exit, Genoa occupied the bottom spot in the league table. However, the club responded positively in the subsequent match, securing their first win of the season by overcoming Sassuolo with a 2:1 scoreline. This result saw Genoa climb away from last place.
De Rossi’s Coaching Background
This appointment marks only the third team that De Rossi has managed during his coaching career. Previously, he was at the helm of SPAL and later took charge at Roma, with his stint at the latter ending in September of last year.
Early Steps with the Griffins
De Rossi is set to oversee his inaugural training session with the team this afternoon. His first official press conference in charge of Genoa will take place tomorrow.
