The Grifone has decided to relieve the 57-year-old coach from his post. Full speed ahead on Shevchenko. Preziosi: “The closing? Everything as scheduled”
Hi Balla, now everything is ready to kick off the Shevchenko era. With a brief official statement on the official website of the club, Genoa dismissed the Romagna coach Davide Ballardini, who paid for the bad start to the season (nine points in twelve days, with only one win). The 57-year-old coach from Ravenna was in his fourth term on the rossoblù bench, where he had been called by the outgoing president Enrico Preziosi almost a year ago (December 2020), to try to resolve a very complicated situation. Thanks to the salvation obtained on the field, Ballardini had automatically earned the reconfirmation for this season until next June 30, when the contract with Rolando Maran, exonerated just a year ago, will also expire.
GO TO THE SHEVA ERA
–
Now the Shevchenko era can officially begin. The Ukrainian champion should arrive in Italy at the beginning of next week for the last bureaucratic formalities with the new American ownership of the Griffin, before being able to officially start his Genoa journey. For him, a two-year contract until 30 June 2023 with an option for the following year, for a figure of around two million net per year. The composition of its staff is being defined. Sheva will debut on Sunday 21 November at home against Mourinho’s Roma.
PRECIOUS AND CLOSING
–
On Monday 15, the closing is expected with the formal transfer of 99.9% of the shares of the Villa Rostan club by the president Enrico Preziosi (who managed it for 18 and a half years: it was the longest presidency in history of the company), which saved him from bankruptcy in 2003, to the US group 777 Partners. In this regard, there is no doubt about the success of the transaction with the American alternative investment company based in Miami. It was the same president Enrico Preziosi, speaking today with the Gazzetta dello Sport, to deny any problem or hitch in this regard. “I am very serene and happy with the operation, which will be closed on schedule, contrary to what is being said around these hours. I also reiterate my satisfaction for the new shareholders. The future of Genoa is absolutely sure”.
