Genoa confirmed the departure of head coach Alberto Gilardino, leaving the club just one point above relegation, with Patrick Vieira reportedly set to take over.
Gilardino leaves after helping Genoa earn promotion and securing an 11th-place finish last season, despite struggling this year with just 10 points from 12 matches.
In a statement, Genoa thanked Gilardino for his achievements and wished him well for the future, marking the end of a challenging tenure.
Patrick Vieira, a World Cup winner, is poised to replace Gilardino, potentially becoming the first French manager in three major European leagues in the 21st century.
