Genoa's attempt for Italiano blocked by Spezia: the latest on the coaching search

Genoa have been blocked by Spezia in their pursuit of coach Vincenzo Italiano of the newly promoted side. There is hardly a hope for Genoa to overcome the obstacles. Italiano is awaiting a meeting with Spezia's owner to confirm his own future, especially the plan to face Serie A opposition next season. Genoa could see their top choice for coach evaporate if Spezia holds firm on retaining him. Instead, the rossoblù woud look for Maran, with fallback options of Carrera and D'Aversa.
