“Bringing Genoa back to the levels of its history”. The first words of the new rossoblù coach Andriy Shevchenko are music to the ears of the Genoa fans who in the early afternoon closed their Sunday lunch with the news of the official signing of the Ukrainian coach in place of the exonerated Davide Ballardini. Shevchenko’s new adventure, contracted until June 30, 2024, will officially begin today when she arrives in Genoa, while the official presentation is scheduled for mid-next week. There is no rush considering that there will be a break, but Shevchenko will certainly not lack work.
It gathers a team that has managed to win just one victory in 12 games and finds itself in the middle of the relegation zone with 9 points and a calendar that includes opponents such as Roma until Christmas, with the debut on the new bench on 21 November, Udinese, Milan, Juventus, Sampdoria, Lazio and Atalanta. But the former Ukrainian national team coach, who won the golden ball in 2004, is ready to dive into this adventure and the enthusiasm with which he immediately responded via social media to Genoa’s announcement confirms this.
“Let’s start this new adventure together to bring Genoa back to the levels of its history”, he tweeted. A clear message addressed to the whole environment after the rossoblù club had announced it informally, first anticipating the drawing of a Ukrainian flag on twitter and then with the official statement: “Welcome, Mr. Shevchenko! Genoa CFC announces that Andriy Shevchenko has reached an agreement with 777 Partners and will lead the Grifone until June 30, 2024. Genoa CFC and 777 Partners warmly welcome Mr. Shevchenko and wish him a fruitful job at the helm of Italy’s oldest club. ” Greetings that also rained on his social profiles starting from Instagram where the words of the new coach have collected over fifty thousand likes and more than two thousand comments. And precisely among the comments those of many former teammates or in any case of great former players stood out: from Seedorf to Vieri, from Costacurta to Luis Figo to Mendieta. If the new ownership of Genoa, 777 Partners, which on November 15 will conclude the latest practices for the final closing by acquiring the entirety of the company from Enrico Preziosi, wanted an international business card, it has certainly left its mark with a media blow that has brought Genoa back. to the international limelight as it has not happened for years.
