A leading DAZN consultant is about to leave his role to start a new challenge.
After offering itself the rights to Ligue 1 for the period 2024-2029 just a few days before the resumption of the championship, DAZN had to expand its contingent of consultants. The British platform has notably decided to bet on Patrick Vieira, free from any contract since his departure from Strasbourg last July.
But after just four months as a consultant, Patrick Vieira is already on his way out. According to information from transfer specialist Fabrizio Romano, the 98 world champion will very soon commit to Genoa. The former Arsenal legend has already reached an agreement with the transalpine team and is expected on the other side of the Alps this week.
First match this Saturday for Vieira
Patrick Vieira will take over from Alberto Gilardino and will have the mission of putting the Rossoblu back on track. The latter are currently at 17e place in Serie A and remain with just one victory in their last eleven matches (all competitions combined). The former Crystal Palace coach should begin his new adventure this Saturday, with the reception of Cagliari.
In Genoa, Patrick Vieira will find a certain Mario Balotelli, with whom relations were sometimes tense on the Nice side. “
The problem is that the way Patrick Vieira played didn't really suit me, the Italian striker told
So Foot. I got along well with him, but sportingly, I didn't agree. If I hadn't had these problems with him, I would never have left Nice. »
