Hard blow for DAZN (or not).
Without a club since leaving Strasbourg in July 2024, Patrick Vieira returns to service. This Tuesday, Genoa announced the arrival of the 1998 world champion to replace Alberto Gilardino on its bench. After a few months spent commenting on Ligue 1 on DAZN, the technician who also worked for Nice and Crystal Palace thus has a new opportunity to show what he is worth as a coach, someone who has not fully convinced until 'here.
This summer, the native of Dakar had refused several offers from MLS and Championship after his Alsatian adventure. Returning to Italy, he became the third French coach to currently coach abroad in Europe with Régis Le Bris in Sunderland and Didier Tholot in Sion. He also became the first French coach to work in three of the five major European championships. In Genoa, he will find a certain Mario Balotelli, with whom things did not always go very well in Nice.
