"Patrick Vieira has stepped down as Genoa head coach by mutual agreement, with the club sitting bottom of Serie A. The former Arsenal captain, who was appointed in November 2024, departs after failing to secure a league victory this season. In a brief announcement, Genoa confirmed that Vieira "was no longer the coach of the first team." Reports suggest that he initiated talks with the club on Friday evening, where both sides agreed to end his tenure."
"Vieira took charge with Genoa in 17th place last season and successfully steered them to safety, recording eight wins and nine draws from 26 matches to finish 13th in Serie A. This campaign, however, has been far more difficult. Genoa have managed just two wins in all competitions, both coming in the Coppa Italia, while suffering six defeats in their opening nine league fixtures, including five losses in their past six games."
