Genoa, decision Sunday on the fate of Juric, Ballardini the top choice to replace him

After Saturday's defeat in the Derby della Lanterna to Sampdoria, Genoa coach Ivan Juric's job could be in jeopardy. The club will decide on Sunday morning about the coach's fate. In case Genoa decides to replace Juric, the top choice to take over is Davide Ballardini. Ballardini has already spent two stints as coach of the rossoblu, he took over the team midseason in 2010 and guided the club to a 10th place finish (although he was not retained after the season). And in 2013, Ballardini avoided relegation with two games remaining in the season after taking over in January.
