Genoa Confirms Daniele De Rossi as Head Coach After Vieira’s Dismissal

The former Roma boss takes over to launch a survival bid from 18th place.

Overview

  • The club said De Rossi has met the squad and will lead today’s training at the Signorini Sports Centre.
  • Reports say he has agreed an initial short-term deal through the 2025-26 season with an extension option if Genoa avoid relegation.
  • He is set to oversee Sunday’s home match against Fiorentina but will not be on the bench due to a touchline suspension carried over from his Roma tenure.
  • Vieira was sacked after a winless start, and caretakers Domenico Criscito and Roberto Murgita delivered a 2-1 win at Sassuolo that moved Genoa to six points from ten games.
  • Fiorentina recently fired Stefano Pioli, and multiple outlets report Paolo Vanoli is likely to be appointed before the game.
