Patrick Vieira has departed from his position at Genoa after both sides reached an agreement to separate, leaving the club anchored at the bottom of Serie A without a single league victory this season. The former Arsenal midfielder, who assumed control in November 2024, oversaw a dismal campaign that produced just two wins in cup competition while accumulating six losses across nine league matches.
Vieira, 49, reportedly started conversations with club officials on Friday evening that led to the mutual split. His first season had shown promise as he rescued Genoa from 17th place through eight victories and nine draws in 26 appearances, securing a 13th-place finish. However, five defeats in the last six Serie A contests sealed his fate this term. The club expressed gratitude for his professionalism while wishing him success ahead.
The Frenchman won three Premier League championships and four FA Cup trophies during his playing days with Arsenal, plus claimed the 1998 World Cup and Euro 2000 with France. His managerial journey included stops at New York City, Nice, Crystal Palace and Strasbourg. He guided Palace to an FA Cup semifinal before a 12-match stretch without victory ended his tenure in 2023.
