From July 2018 to today a small record: six coaches on the Genoa bench, the last on the list is Davide Nicola arrived in Genoa for the signature on the contract that will bind him until June to the rossoblù club. However, an automatic renewal for the next season is foreseen in case of salvation. Agreement reached, only the official communication of Thiago Motta's exemption is awaited, just six points in nine games from the end of October. The heavy defeat before the Christmas break in San Siro with Inter (4-0) was decisive.
And even before Thiago Motta it was Aurelio Andreazzoli's turn (five points in eight games) who was exonerated on 20 October after the heavy 5-1 in Parma. Now to Nicola, who will already be at the Genoa headquarters in Pegli on Saturday, the task of raising a Genoa to last place with just 11 points. On Sunday morning, when training is expected to resume after the week off for the Christmas holidays, Nicola will lead the team in view of the home match against Sassuolo on Sunday at 6 pm. Nicola won Diego Lopez's competition and a possible return by Aurelio Andreazzoli while the first choice for the after Thiago Motta would have been that of Davide Ballardini who however responded negatively to the proposal sent by the management of Genoa. Now Nicola will have to try to find the right recipe for a team that needs reinforcements in every department.
