Genoa has confirmed the appointment of Daniele De Rossi as their new head coach. He faces the challenge of maintaining the Rossoblu’s Serie A status after a difficult start to the season under former manager Patrick Vieira, who failed to win any of his nine games before mutually terminating his contract.
Following Vieira’s departure, interim head coach Domenico Criscito led Genoa to a 2-1 victory over Sassuolo in matchday 10, a win that provided a boost to the team’s confidence.

De Rossi’s first match in charge will be against Fiorentina. It is expected that he will keep the same starting lineup that secured the win over Sassuolo, as changing a winning team carries risks, especially with renewed confidence in the squad.
Roberto Murgita and Domenico Criscito, who guided the team in the interim, are likely to advise De Rossi on the best lineup. However, having met the players and taken training sessions, De Rossi will make his own decisions ahead of the match.
Daniele De Rossi arrives at Genoa aiming to stabilize the team, likely maintaining the recent winning lineup to preserve momentum heading into his debut against Fiorentina.
