Genoa run out of patience with Vieira, possible replacements revealed

Genoa have formally confirmed trust in Patrick Vieira, but the reality is that the French coach’s position is increasingly uncertain.

Evidently, Genoa want a total revolution, from the sporting director to the coach. Evidently, Genoa have realised that Vieira has entered a tunnel and has little chance of re-emerging.

Sources with direct knowledge of the matter tell me that Rossoblu are considering an internal solution, Domenico Criscito or Gennaro Ruotolo, in this order, with the help of Roberto Murgita, another club legend who has his coaching badges.

To wait for the upcoming away game on Monday against Sassuolo might make no sense for the Grifone, so Vieira, who is no longer trusted by the club, may not even get a final chance.

Anything is still possible, but when club and coach are no longer in sync, it makes no sense to postpone.

Genoa sit at rock bottom of the Serie A table with three points in nine matches.
