Genoa starts again from Alberto Gilardino. The Piedmontese coach will be the next coach of the oldest club in Italy for the next two seasons. The announcement arrived yesterday evening with a video posted on the rossoblù channels. “The dream continues” says the former 2006 world champion striker, capable of bringing the rossoblù back to Serie A at the first attempt and securing safety five rounds early in the current season. An important result, thanks to him and the staff together with what the team was able to put on the field.
The big names have always suffered
Results that were satisfactory, performances that have always satisfied the fans, the result of the character and competitive energy that the group has always been able to demonstrate by playing on equal terms even with superior opponents on paper. Proof of this are the successes against Lazio and Roma in the first leg, 1-0 against the Biancocelesti at the Olimpico and 4-1 at home against the Giallorossi, in addition to the draws against Inter, Milan, Juventus and Napoli, against the Bianconeri and the Azzurri both in the first leg and in the return leg while Bologna also suffered quite a bit at the “Dall’Ara” and only found a 1-1 draw with time up.
Record still possible
Despite the defeat in the capital, the record of points collected upon returning to the top championship is still possible. Gian Piero Gasperini remains at the top of this special ranking with the 48 points obtained in the 2007-2008 season while the following season qualified for the Europa League with 68. The feat is still possible with a success against Bologna coached by the man who He conquered Europe 16 years ago with the Grifone shirt and now he has brought the Emilians to the Champions League, namely Thiago Motta. 90 minutes left in the championship for Genoa and Alberto Gilardino. Then there will be another page to write.
