Andriy Shevchenko, a Ukrainian football legend and former coach of Ukraine, was fired after only nine games as coach of Genoa.
Namely, he came as a great hope of the owner from the anemic consortium “777”, and he was expected to raise the team. However, out of nine games, Shevchenko failed to win any.
Three draws, six defeats, and 27 points lost. He arrived as a replacement for Davide Ballardini, hoping to save the club from relegation.
Genoa is penultimate on the table with only 12 points after 21 rounds, ie with five points less, and a game more, than Venice, which is currently in the survival zone.
