Genoa Parts Ways With Patrick Vieira, Names Murgita and Criscito as Interim Coaches

A worst-ever nine-game start leaves Genoa last in Serie A.

Overview

  • Roberto Murgita and Domenico “Mimmo” Criscito will lead the team on an interim basis for Monday’s trip to Sassuolo.
  • Genoa have three points from nine matches with no wins, marking the club’s poorest start and placing them 20th.
  • The club issued a brief statement saying Vieira is no longer head coach, while Gazzetta dello Sport reported he resigned.
  • The shake-up followed a 2-0 home defeat to newly promoted Cremonese and the dismissal of the sporting director on Friday.
  • Vieira, hired in November 2024 and extended after finishing 13th last season, becomes the second Serie A coaching departure this season after Igor Tudor at Juventus.
