The former midfielder and World Cup winner with Italy takes over following the recent dismissal of <strong>Patrick Vieira</strong>.</p><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p dir="ltr" lang="es">✍️ Benvenuto mister 🔴🔵 <a href="https://t.co/fvbu8pHOzw">pic.twitter.com/fvbu8pHOzw</a></p>— Genoa CFC (@GenoaCFC) <a href="https://twitter.com/GenoaCFC/status/1986403360136962224?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">November 6, 2025</a></blockquote><p>The historic Genoese club finds itself in a critical situation, occupying <strong>18th place</strong> in the standings. The team has had a season to forget so far, recording just one win in ten matches played in the top tier of Italian football—a statistic that sealed the fate of De Rossi’s predecessor.</p><p>For De Rossi, this will be his second experience as a Serie A head coach, after having managed <strong>AS Roma</strong> in 2024. Despite his brief stint on the Giallorossi bench, where he secured qualification for the Europa League, his arrival at Genoa represents a challenge of an entirely different magnitude: the fight for survival.</p><p>The club, considered the oldest in Italy, is looking to De Rossi not only for tactical innovation but also for an emotional boost for a squad that seems to have lost confidence. The charisma and winning mentality of the former Roma captain are the main assets the management hopes to capitalize on to lift the team out of the dreaded relegation zone.</p><div class="onefootball-match-scores-data"><br></div><p>De Rossi is expected to lead his first training session in the coming hours, with his sights set on his league debut, where he will face the tough challenge of picking up points to begin the climb out of the danger zone.</p><p><em>This article was translated into English by Artificial Intelligence. <a href="https://onefootball.com/es/noticias/objetivo-la-salvacion-daniele-de-rossi-toma-el-mando-del-genoa-41912022">You can read the original version in 🇪🇸 here.</a></em></p><hr><p>📸 2024 Getty Images</p>)

Tchouameni has been one of the most important players in Xabi Alonso’s system, so it will be interesting to see how the team performs without him.</p>)

The young Algerian midfielder, just 19 years old, delivered a masterful performance in Bayer Leverkusen’s 1-0 victory over Benfica Lisbon in the Champions League. In a match played amidst a charged atmosphere at the Louve stadium, the German club’s number 30 simply lit up his team’s game.</p><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p dir="ltr" lang="pt">Ibrahim Maza VS Benfica.

After the match, the young prodigy spoke with emotion: “Every kid dreams of this.”</p><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p dir="ltr" lang="fr">Quand on vous disait qu’Ibrahim Maza était une vrais pépite 🤷🏽♂️🇩🇿 <br><br>Il a choisis l’Algérie à 18 ans. <br><br>2 MOTM en 7 Jours 🪄😮💨 <a href="https://t.co/9mXBnaWtdU">pic.twitter.com/9mXBnaWtdU</a></p>— Shanksuu. 🤫 (@Shanks_ledz) <a href="https://twitter.com/Shanks_ledz/status/1986198359145603095?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">November 5, 2025</a></blockquote><p>This performance further cements his position in the Bayer hierarchy, but also in the eyes of head coach Vladimir Petkovic. With the November training camp in Saudi Arabia approaching—where Algeria will face Zimbabwe and Saudi Arabia—Ibrahim Maza is already on the extended squad list. Barring any last-minute surprises, he will indeed be called up.</p>)
