Pirlo-Genoa, the coach still under contract with Juve is the first name to replace Ballardini. Gattuso and Donadoni are also in contention
Andrea Pirlo has two reasons to enjoy at this moment. The first is that Juventus with the arrival of Massimiliano Allegri has not improved compared to its management, quite the contrary. Today the bianconeri are 13 points from the top and 5 points less in the standings after 10 days. The second is that Pirlo may have found a new bench.
According to reports from Il Secolo XIX on newsstands today, Ballardini’s position at Genoa is in great risk. The rossoblu are currently third last and therefore in the relegation zone. The team is with the coach, as evidenced by the reaction in the final draw with Spezia, but the bench is still shaky. It cannot be ruled out that the new owner may decide for a change, especially if the salvation challenge with Venezia goes wrong. Pirlo is still under contract with Juventus but remains the first choice to replace Ballardini. In contention there are also Gattuso, Donadoni and Maran still under contract with Genoa.
