Overview
- The club announced Patrick Vieira is no longer first-team coach and named Roberto Murgita as interim leader assisted by Domenico Criscito.
- Genoa are winless through nine league matches with three draws and six losses and have scored four goals in that span.
- Reports differ on whether Vieira resigned or was dismissed, as the club statement did not specify the nature of his exit.
- The team sits last in Serie A, two points below the safety zone, after a 2-0 home defeat to promoted Cremona last weekend.
- Murgita and Criscito are set to oversee Monday’s trip to Sassuolo, with wider scrutiny on coaching changes following Juventus appointing Luciano Spalletti this week.
