Genoa had 3 coaches this season, we started with Gigi de Canio who saved Genoa last year in the last 5 matches (Preziosi had to keep De Canio after this succes, while the rumors immediately said he didn’t want to). After the crazy 8th match of the season against Roma (2-0 advantage ended in a 2-4 defeat) De Canio was changed by Luigi Delneri who was coach of Genoa during 13 matches. The 0-2 homedefeat against Catania on 20th January was the end of Delneri who was substituted by our present coach Davide Ballardini (Balla). Here are the standings of the 3 coaches:
Gigi de Canio (8 matches, last one 21st October 2012: Genoa-Roma 2-4)
1) Juventus 22 points
11) Genoa 9 (2 wins, 3 draws and 3 defeats)
14) Siena 8 (but started with -6, so 2 points in the standings)
19) Pescara 7
20) Palermo 6
