Former Ballon d'Or winner Shevchenko has a poor coaching record and was recently fired by Serie A weak team Genoa, who was targeted by Shevchenko's former AC teammate Gattuso. Genoa's same-city derby is known as the "Lighthouse Derby", genoa's two Serie A teams, Sampdoria and Genoa, are at risk of relegation, and there may not be a "Lighthouse Derby" in Serie A next season.
Genoa is powerless to expand the strength of the team, and it is difficult to solve the problem by changing the coach alone. Genoa's first manager of the season, Barraltini, had a poor record and had to leave school, with Shevchenko becoming his second manager on 7 November last year. During his time in charge of Genoa, Shevchenko led the team to only 3 draws and 6 losses in Serie A, such a poor record made the club intolerable.
On 14 January, Shevchenko led Genoa to an away challenge to old club AC Milan in the Quarter-finals of the Coppa Italia, where the two sides were 1-1 in 90 minutes, with Genoa eliminated 1–3 after extra time. After the match, Shevchenko was dismissed as manager, and the "Ukrainian Nuclear Warhead" coached the club team for the first time.
The game before Shevchenko left may have been more decent, but extra time caused double damage to old clubs AC Milan and Genoa. In the 22nd round of Serie A on 18 January, AC Milan lost 1-2 at home to Spezia, which was of course very unfavorable to the competition for the title; Genoa lost 0-6 away to Fiorentina, leaving guard coach Conco disgraced and making it difficult for Genoa to find a new manager. Genoa's points are equaled by the penultimate Salernitana, and the average person does not dare to take such a mess. Gattuso has a stubborn personality and may consider Genoa.
Barcelona's first Champions League triumph was in the final in 1992, when Sampdoria, a traditionally strong team in Serie A, has to fight for relegation this season. Samp's first manager of the season, Daversa, has been dismissed and is now youth coach Tufano and assistant coach Palombo have joined forces as caretaker managers.
Unlike Shevchenko, Samp's caretaker manager is wiser and does not dwell too much in the Coppa Italia in order to secure Relegation in Serie A. This morning in the 1/8 final of the Coppa Italia, Samp lost 4-1 away to Juventus.
Samp's new manager, Jampaolo, is about to take office, and he once coached Samp. From 2016 to 2019, Giampaolo coached Samp for 3 seasons, and under his tutelage, Samp veteran Quagliarella won the Golden Boot in Serie A for the 2018-2019 season. In the summer of 2019, Giampaolo became the new manager of AC Milan, but the coaching record was very bad, and he was forced to leave the class after only playing 7 games with the team, becoming the shortest coach in the history of AC Milan. Now, Giampaolo is once again coaching Samp as a "firefighting coach". (For more news, please pay attention to Yangcheng Pie pai.ycwb.com)
