Rolando Maran is overseeing proceedings at Genoa, becoming their fourth manager in the space of fewer than 12 months.
Cagliari started brightly in Serie A last year. Their star faded as the season progressed. To arrest their decline, Rolando Maran was relieved of his duties.
Maran is now at the helm of Genoa and the club wants to re-live their glories of decade past. The 57-year-old has a difficult task ahead of him and a sacking will be on the cards if he fails to deliver.
The Trento native has teamed up with sporting director Daniele Faggiano to make his mark. Maran has immense confidence with his aide and believes that together they will structure a great squad.
“Faggiano is a guarantee and has already been at work for a long time,” Football Italia quoted Maran at a press conference.
“He’s quickly working to build the team.”
“The ideas are there, but the market can change them because we need good players.”
“I’m flexible to help the elements we have in the squad. We will work on a couple of systems to be able to change and be ready in every game.”
“The fact that there will be five substitutions, we will have to be ready to change skin even in the game. I will work on a couple of things to be ready for everyone and the market will tell us which path to take.”
“Two solutions could be to change the defense from three to four. But the solutions are infinite. We will see what we can get and where we can go. We will certainly try to improve it.”
Genoa managed to avoid relegation on the final matchday of the 2019/20 season. The faithful will hope that they give a good account of themselves this year.
