Reports indicate that Genoa and manager Daniele De Rossi have reached an agreement to continue their collaboration beyond his initial arrival in November 2025. The club and the coach are reportedly in the process of discussing the transfer strategy for the upcoming season.
Genoa was facing significant challenges under Patrick Vieira before De Rossi’s appointment. He successfully turned their season around, steering the team to a comfortable position and securing their safety from relegation.
During his tenure, De Rossi guided Genoa to nine victories, eight draws, and 12 defeats in Serie A, averaging 1.21 points per game.
De Rossi Expresses Willingness to Continue at Genoa
The coach had previously stated his happiness to remain at Marassi, provided there was a shared vision for the club’s future. According to reports from La Gazzetta dello Sport and Il Secolo XIX, both parties have now verbally agreed to move forward together.
While a contract is currently being drafted, it has not yet been officially signed. The club’s strategy reportedly involves making only essential player sales.
Genoa’s primary focus for strengthening the squad is on the midfield and attacking positions. They also aim to retain Tommaso Baldanzi, who joined the team in January from Roma.
This potential extension represents a significant opportunity for De Rossi, whose previous coaching roles at SPAL and Roma were all short-term assignments, never completing a full season.
