Genoa is the oldest soccer club in Italy but won the last of its nine Italian league titles in 1924. It has often found itself fighting relegation in recent years and Friday바카라™s draw at Empoli left it in the drop zone and led to Ballardini바카라™s dismissal.

바카라œGenoa announces that Andriy Shevchenko has reached an agreement with 777 Partners and will lead the Grifone until June 30, 2024,바카라 Genoa said in a statement, before naming some of Shevchenko바카라™s achievements as a player and coach.

바카라œGenoa and 777 Partners warmly welcome coach Shevchenko and wish him a fruitful time in charge of the oldest club in Italy.바카라
