In a hurry, Serie A team Genoa finalized the third head coach of the season, replacing former Ukrainian star Shevchenko, is the former Bundesliga grassroots striker Brehin, the 48-year-old coach has only 65 first-team coaching experience, although last season was amazing to take Ostend to 5th place in the competition, but this season can only rank third from the bottom, from the relegation team in the bundesliga to the relegation team in serie A, can he really bring the griffins back to life?
Brehem received a contract from Genoa until June 2024, which shows that Genoa has a lot of confidence in the German coach. To invite him, Genoa paid Ostend a €1.5 million penalty to finalize the team's third manager of the season.
Genoa's manager at the beginning of the season was local coach Balardini, but because of the poor results of the team, slipped to 17th in the table, so he was fired, replaced by the former Milan striker, Shevchenko, who once coached the Ukrainian national team, but the arrival of Sheva can not change Genoa's long winless, by the time the nuclear warhead leaves this month, Genoa has fallen to 19th in the standings, 6 points behind the safe zone.
In fact, Breising was not the first choice for Genoa, who had hoped to invite another German coach, former German international striker Rabadia, but Labadia did not accept Genoa's invitation because he witnessed Genoa's crushing defeat to Fiorentina. Breehing was expected to land at Sheffield United, but because he did not get a work permit, he finally had to give up.
Originally from Stuttgart, Germany, the 48-year-old Blachin played as a centre forward and spent most of his time in the lower leagues, playing seven Bundesliga games in just 1998-99. He spent the last two seasons of his playing career with The German regional league side Brandon, where he was also an assistant coach. After officially retiring in 2012, he moved to RB Leipzig, where he coached Red Bull's U17, U19 and Toro Rosso II teams for eight years.
In 2020, Breehing began his coaching career, inviting him to be a weaker player in the first division, Ostend. In the 2020-21 season, Breehing showed his ability to turn decay into magic, leading the team to 15 wins, 8 draws and 11 losses, and forcefully promoted Ostend from 15th to 5th; this season, Ostend recovered his original face, only 7 wins in the first 21 games, and currently only has 23 points, ranking 16th in the table, four points ahead of the relegation zone.
From 3rd to 2nd from Serie A, can Breshing create magic? It felt a bit hard.
