Genoa confirm the appointment of Davide Ballardini as their new Head Coach, replacing the sacked Ivan Juric.

Croatian Juric was relieved of his duties after Saturday’s derby defeat to Sampdoria, a result that left the Griffone with just six points from their first 12 matches of the Serie A season.

Former Palermo boss Ballardini was quickly made the favourite to succeed Juric, and the Marassi club have now officially announced he has returned for a third spell in charge.
