That will not be the case for Patrick Vieira as a coach. At Genoa, it was only eleven months in the job, on Tuesday the Arsenal legend was sacked with a measly six points from ten league games. Now Morten Thorsby and Leo Østigård (hired from Rennes) get a new football legend as coach. This one is an expert on Serie A.
On Wednesday, Danielle de Rossi will fly in to finalize the final details of her contract.
Roma legend De Rossi was brought in in January 2024 as a savior at the club he had served in a wild 616 games. Jose Mourino had been sacked at Roma, De Rossi led the club to the semi-finals of the Europa League and a solid 6th place in Serie A – and was rewarded with a contract extension in June until 2027. Three months later, completely incomprehensibly, the Roma management fires the same man.
After the tenacious exit from Roma, De Rossi has engaged as an assistant coach for the Italian national team (has 117 games in the blue shirt) and bought the club Ostiamare. Now, the all-in de Rossi returns to the Serie A ring.
According to hyperactive transfer journalist Romano, Genoa are negotiating with de Rossi over the final details, with the legend to lead the club against Fiorentina at the weekend, who fired their coach Stefano Pioli this week.

For Thorsby and Østigård, the meeting with de Rossi as boss can be interesting. He showed with Roma how a club can rise in a matter of months and finish the season successfully.
