The Italian Job - Genoa

GASPERINI LEAVES GENOA

Gian Piero Gasperini has sensationally walked out on Genoa after a dispute with chairman Enrico Preziosi.

The 52-year-old was reportedly far from happy with the board interfering with transfers.

Gasperini said: " The chairman is the son of a swine! I wish ill on him and his children! He would not let me sign who I wanted!"

He added: "I wanted to sign Titus Bramble."

Sven Goran Eriksson has now been installed as the favourite to succeed Gasperini.

SVEN SAYS NO TO GENOA

Sven Goran Eriksson has turned down the manager's job at Genoa claiming he doesn't want to leave England.

The Swede resides in Nottingham after leaving his post with the Ivory Coast and is reluctant to move back to Italy.

Eriksson said: "The birds in Italy are nothing compared to here in Nottingham."

Genoa may now turn to Big Ron Atkinson as they search for a new boss to start the season.

ORRIELLI JOINS GENOA

Italian rookie Jamie Orrielli has won the race to become Genoa manager amidst competition from experienced manager's such as Ron Atkinson, Barry Fry and Ian Holloway.

The 30-year-old had been a youth coach at the club and has now been handed the top job.

Orrielli said: " Mama Mia! I thought it was a joke when Preziosi phoned me!

"I phoned my old mentor Gasperini and he told me it was agreater betrayal than when his wife left him for his Pool boy, but i don't really care! It's my dream job!"

ORRIELLI UP TO THE TASK

Jamie Orrielli has vowed that Genoa will aim for Europe this season as he announced his captain for the season.

Marco Rossi was chosen to lead the Grifoni and Orrielli also singled Domenico Criscito as the club's star player.

Criscito was subject of bids from Manchester United, Birmingham City and Wolfsburg during the summer but Orrielli has promised his prized asset will stay and help the club build towards European qualification.

It is likely that inherited signings Luca Toni and Miguel Veloso will also have a key part to play in Genoa's season.

GENOA HUMBLE THE OLD LADY
JUVENTUS 3-5 GENOA

Genoa triumphed in a classic as Luca Toni scored twice on his debut for the Grifoni.

The lanky frontman came on at half time replacing Robert Acquafresca who had put Genoa ahead from the penalty spot before a double from Alessandro Del Piero put Juventus ahead at half time.

The double from Toni and a fourth from Domenico Criscito put Genoa 4-2 up before the legendary Del Piero completed his hat-trick.

Argentine forward Rodrigo Palacio sealed the win smashing high past Manninger with 10 minutes to go.

Great start and good luck. Criscito turns into a great player, so it is good you kept hold of him.
