The Genoa president is approaching his first derby as number one. In the race for the sporting director, the German manager, now director of Vitesse, in the Netherlands approaches
Genoa – The derby that is approaching, the office of the president Alberto Zangrillo (“We will need the spirit of the North”) and a new name on pole in the race for the position of sporting director of Genoa: Johannes Spors. Once the Sabatini hypothesis has been blurred, the foreign track takes off again at the Rossoblù home. The right name could be that of the current director of Vitesse, the fifth-ranked club in the Netherlands and engaged in the Conference League.
Thirty-nine years old, German, a pupil of Rangnick, Spors is a very concrete hypothesis: his engagement has not yet been concluded but there are excellent chances that he will be the manager to manage the rossoblù technical area working together with the current ds Carlo Taldo at the helm of an innovative scouting facility. He started at 25 as a match analyst at Hoffenheim, Spors was then chief scout of Leipzig where he joined Rangnick, current Manchester United manager, in the Red Bull galaxy. Its philosophy is centered on young people and on a modern approach: many talents unearthed starting with Werner and Upamecano. Spors has started to follow Genoa on social networks: further indication of his possible arrival soon.
777 Partners works to plan the Rossoblu future and invests heavily in other sectors: yesterday’s news of 30 Boeing Max aircraft ordered with an operation worth 3.7 billion dollars, which will integrate the fleet available to the US holding.
In the present of Genoa, however, there is above all the derby. In the derby, the new logo will debut on the Genoa and Samp shirts “My Liguria”, Sponsorship of the Region presented yesterday at the Palazzo della Borsa. President Zangrillo was present and charged the team: «The derby is an important booster, a great stimulus but we are also looking beyond. What spirit will it take? There is a guiding spirit when it comes to Genoa and it is extraordinarily simple and important: it is the spirit of the Gradinata Nord that interprets that of all the Genoans ».
North which is already sold out for the match against Sampdoria (the free sale of tickets will start from today). Despite the difficulties of the team, the fans are giving strong support. «I have heard congratulations for our support from fans of Rome, Juve, Milan – said Zangrillo – and this makes us proud. The fans? The first important thing will be not to make fun of them, the second to have them by our side, the third to grasp ideas, stimuli and great encouragement from them ».
In the meantime, at Signorini, Shevchenko prepares his first derby. Badelj also returned to the group yesterday and missed the match with Juventus due to a feverish attack. A few glimmers of light begin to arrive from the infirmary. Already on Monday Criscito, Destro, Maksimovic, Kallon and Sturaro returned to work with their teammates. Training today and tomorrow will be essential to assess their condition. The one with the most chance of being there is Captain Criscito. Even for Sturaro, out with Juve due to fatigue, there is hope. Destro and Kallon, returning from a longer stop, it will be more difficult to see them on the field from 1 ‘but even during the match they could give a great hand to Shevchenko, still looking for the first goal and the first victory of his management. In the meantime, the encouragement of a former derby man, the Danish Lerager, has also arrived via social media, who has published the video of his decisive goal in the last derby won in the league against Sampdoria.
