Genoa became the second team this season to dismiss their coach after Patrick Vieira was let go. This was after Juventus fired interim and former player Igor Tudor a few days before. Fiorentina also fired head coach Stefano Pioli a few days later. Juventus wrapped up the new signing fast, Genoa and Fiorentina are still waiting.

Juventus managed to hire Luciano Spalletti days after the firing of Tudor. This leaves only Genoa and Fiorentina fighting over managers and who they will hire. Juventus is out of this race and Spalletti would likely have taken either of these two jobs at this stage of his career.

So who was left for Genoa or Fiorentina to hire? Well there was four main names surrounding both clubs according to reports. Paolo Vanoli, Thiago Motta, Daniele De Rossi and Alessandro Nesta. These where the main four who all had previous coaching expirence in Seria A.

Now however, Gianluca Di Marzio reports that Genoa have found their head coach for the future. They have chosen Daniele De Rossi, and will have him coach his first game against Fiorentina on Sunday. Genoa are hopeful that De Rossi getting his feet on the ground against a side in turmoil like Fiorentina will help his stint at Genoa.

Genoa and De Rossi now just need to figure out the financial side of the deal before the move can be complete. This now will leave with only Vanoli, Motta or Nesta to choose from. Nothing is offical but reports say that Motta decided to turn down the Fiorentina job before the start of the season.

This is due to the fact that he is still being paid from Juventus after his dismissal. If Motta is still unwilling to move then it will leave only Nesta or Vanoli for Fiorentina to choose from. However, Motta could still decide to take up a job, we will only know once further news is released.

The first half of Juventus’s campaign was outlined with a struggle for scoring goals. This was despite signings of both Jonathan David and Lois Openda being bought last summer to fix the problem. The struggles have now lead, Juventus to open talks for a contract renewal with Dusan Vlahovic.

Vlahovic staying in Turin, seemed almost impossible last summer, due to Vlahovic’s wage demands. However, the struggle to replace him has made Juventus see his value. They are now even willing to meet Vlahovic in the middle paying more than they would like, and less than he wants.

However, he is not the only player Juventus is ready to keep past this summer. Jeremie Boga, was brought in during the January, transfer window in the hopes to boost Juventus struggling attack. He has done so emphatically hitting the ground running in Turin scoring three goals in his first seven Serie A matches.

This has lead Juventus aiming to keep Boga past the six month loan period, according to a report from Nico Schira. Part of the deal is already completed for Juventus as the initial loan came with a buy clause between the two clubs. This will see Juventus pay only 4.8 million euros for Boga this summer.

A low fee like this will be a steal for a player that has been as good as Boga for Juventus. This is still true considering his age as Boga is a more experienced player at 29, but also not too old where it is a liability. Boga contract with Juventus will likely reflect this as Juventus has agreed a deal until 2029 with Boga.
