On the evening of January 15, Beijing time, Genoa officially announced that the coach Shevchenko was dismissed from class, and the two sides ended the 69-day cooperative relationship.
The 45-year-old Shevchenko became the sixth manager to step down in Serie A this season.
Sixty-nine days ago, Genoa dismissed his boss, Paradini, and invited former Ukrainian national team coach Shevchenko to coach. But after Shevchenko took office, Genoa was even worse than before. Originally, Barardini could still score nine points in the first 12 rounds, while Shevchenko led the team to only get 3 points in 9 rounds, genoa only had 12 points after 21 rounds, they still trailed the safe zone by 5 points in 1 game of more games, and only 1 point more than the bottom 1 Salnitana in 2 games.
After being eliminated by AC Milan in the Coppa Italia 3-1 reversal, Shevchenko already felt like he was about to leave class. In genoa's coaching career, Shevchenko's only victory was a 1-0 victory over Salenitana in the Coppa Italia.
Although Shevchenko signed Genoa on a contract that would not expire until the end of June 2024, Genoa now had to make up his mind to fire him. Genoa was the first club team shevchenko to coach, and his Serie A debut season was fixed at 9 games.
The day before Shevchenko's end of class, Genoa had just loaned 19-year-old defender Carafori from Roma, and the two had not worked together for a day. It is understood that Shevchenko's successor will be former Hertha Berlin manager Labadia.
